Brief description

Forder Lane House is a care home owned by Dartington Housing Association. It is set within a complex of sheltered bungalows, also owned by the housing association. All bedrooms, communal rooms and facilities are situated on the ground floor.

People are accommodated in pleasant single rooms, which have en-suite facilities or a designated toilet nearby. The bedrooms all have an external door that opens out onto level gardens. There is an attractive central combined lounge/dining area.

In addition there is a conservatory that is used by a small number of people who receive day care and those attending a luncheon club. The home provides aids and adaptations to meet people's needs including grab rails, a mobile hoist and an adapted bath.
The Registered Manager's office is situated on the first floor, next to the Dartington Housing Association's Chief Executive's office and their administration.
Outside there are attractive level gardens, which surround the care home. A patio area with seating is situated at the front of the building.
