About Lucerne House
Lucerne House provides nursing and residential care for older people and adults with dementia, mental health needs, physical disabilities and other support requirements. Its care model combines 24-hour support with opportunities for independence, social life and personalised routines.
Residents can receive nursing, dementia, respite and residential care, with support tailored to their needs and preferences. Meals are prepared on site using locally sourced meat and vegetables, and modified textured dishes are available where required. The wider setting includes social environments, activities and outdoor space, while care teams work to understand each person as an individual rather than applying a standard routine.

Questions families ask
How much does Lucerne House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Lucerne House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Devon council paid on average £1,317 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Lucerne House whether it takes residents funded by Devon council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
