About Malden House
Malden House offers residential, dementia and respite care in a period house dating from 1820. Care plans are discussed with residents, relatives and relevant professionals, then reviewed as needs change.
Respite stays are usually booked for up to eight weeks, although longer arrangements may be assessed individually. Weekly fees include accommodation, food and drink, 24-hour care and housekeeping, alongside planned activities and communal areas. Families can receive help understanding care options and funding while considering a move into full-time care. The home also provides day and end-of-life care through the wider organisation.

Questions families ask
Is there a minimum stay for respite care?
There is no stated minimum. Respite care is usually booked for up to 8 weeks, although longer stays may be assessed individually according to care needs.
Is a deposit required for a room?
A holding deposit may be requested when reserving a room for a future move-in date. It is normally refundable after move-in, but 50% may be retained if the resident does not move in.
Do they offer a trial period or taster session?
Yes. Day care can let someone experience the home, meet the team and join activities before making a longer-term decision, subject to availability.
Can residents bring their own furniture and belongings?
Yes. Residents can bring favourite furniture, photographs, ornaments, books and other treasured belongings if there is enough space. The maintenance team can help with personal touches.
How much does Malden House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Malden House 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.
