About Briarcroft Care Home
Briarcroft Care Home supports older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, physical disabilities and sensory impairment. Each resident receives an individual care plan covering needs, wishes, treatment, life history and personal details, allowing staff to organise support around the person.
The home offers activities and communal amenities within a secure environment using keypad controls linked to the fire alarm. Residents may receive input from GPs, community nurses and other health professionals, but Briarcroft is not registered to provide nursing care. The setting is intended to preserve choice, independence and freedom of movement while providing residential support.

Day care can last for any period over two hours between 9am and 9pm, seven days a week, and includes personal care, meals, activities and entertainment.
Can residents choose the care service they need?
Yes. They allow residents to choose the service they require, with care and support adapted to individual needs and an emphasis on maintaining independence.
Does Briarcroft have security for residents who may wander?

How much does Briarcroft Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Briarcroft Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Devon council paid on average £1,043 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
