Yanti Beament is Manager at Silverleigh Care Home.
I understand that choosing the right care home and undergoing the transition can be a daunting experience for many. At Silverleigh Care Home, we aim to alleviate any concerns that choosing a care home may bring following a care needs assessment. We welcome prospective residents and loved ones to come and tour our care home and meet our care experts to help make an informed decision as to whether we are the right care home.
I look forward to welcoming you to Silverleigh…
Silverleigh Nursing Home, located in the heart of Axminster, offers compassionate care and support in a welcoming, homely environment. The home is made up of two buildings – Silverleigh and Cedars, with Cedars formerly operating as a hotel. The team at Silverleigh, many of whom have been with the home for several years, are trained to treat residents with dignity and respect, ensuring a comfortable and nurturing atmosphere.
The care home provides a wide variety of activities to suit the interests of residents, including organised outings. Nutritious meals are prepared to accommodate individual tastes and dietary requirements, ensuring that each resident’s needs are met. The lounge and dining area serve as the central hub of the home, where residents are encouraged to socialise and engage with one another.
Silverleigh fosters a family-oriented environment where friends and family are always welcome to visit and participate in the community. The home enjoys strong ties to the local community and has earned a great reputation for its warm, homely atmosphere. The dedicated and experienced staff work hard to create a caring environment that offers both comfort and a sense of belonging for all residents.
