About The Seaton
The Seaton provides nursing and specialist dementia care in an elegant Georgian building surrounded by private gardens. The home supports older people and younger adults with dementia, physical disabilities and other assessed care needs.
Its small family-run group places emphasis on homely surroundings, meaningful relationships and enriching daily life. The Seaton is close to the town, while its gardens provide a private outdoor setting for residents and visitors. The wider care approach draws on recognised dementia-care strategies and focuses on more than routine tasks. Specialist dementia care in Devon is a central part of the home’s identity.

Questions families ask
How much does The Seaton cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Seaton 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 The Seaton 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.
