About Torr Home
Torr Home combines residential, nursing, dementia, respite and end-of-life care with retirement apartments in Plymouth. It supports older people and adults with additional physical needs, including residents living with dementia.
Dementia support is delivered around the clock through individual care plans, and the purpose-built Glentor Centre is designed specifically for people living with dementia. Residents can also use activities coordinated around their interests, while the charity reinvests profits into residents’ lives and the upkeep of the home and grounds. Respite care is available to non-residents, subject to availability. Families are encouraged to personalise bedrooms with familiar furniture and personal items, and visitors are welcomed at all times apart from protected mealtimes.

How much does Torr Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Torr Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Plymouth council paid on average £1,021 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.
