About Sefton Hall

Sefton Hall provides nursing and dementia care for older people, younger adults and residents with physical disabilities. The home is part of Southern Healthcare, a family-run Devon organisation whose homes specialise in dementia care. Its care approach focuses on understanding each person’s needs, preferences and interests, with nursing staff keeping families informed as needs change.

The home’s activity team aims to include different abilities and interests, while the wider service supports residents and families during end-of-life care. Sefton Hall is a short distance from Dawlish town centre and the seafront, giving the setting a local coastal context. Its specialist dementia focus is supported by methods developed by recognised dementia-care thinkers. Specialist dementia care in Devon is central to the home’s identity.

Questions families ask

Do they specialise in dementia care?

Yes. Southern Healthcare’s homes specialise in dementia care and use relationship-centred approaches to support residents’ wellbeing.

What does their dementia care include?

Their dementia care supports the whole person through companionship, meaningful interactions, thoughtfully prepared meals and activities designed around residents’ wellbeing.

How much does Sefton Hall cost?

The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Sefton Hall 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.
