Brief description

Pinewood Nursing Home provides 24-hour nursing care and accommodation for up to 35 people over retirement age. It is owned by Elmwood Nursing Home Ltd., and is managed by a registered nurse. The home stands in its own grounds, approached by way of a steep hill, in a residential area close to Budleigh Salterton town centre and the sea front.

Bedrooms and shared facilities are over four floors, with lift access between floors. Twenty bedrooms have en suite facilities. There are two lounges, a smaller 'quiet room', and a dining room.

There are grounds and gardens, including areas that are accessible to people with mobility problems, with a car park outside the front entrance to the home. The home employs a physiotherapist, activities co-ordinator, and has shared use of a minibus. The weekly fee at the time of this inspection were 552-1200 pounds, depending on care needs and the bedroom occupied. Extras include private telephone calls and items of laundry requiring specialist dry cleaning (the home takes these to a dry cleaners on behalf of the individual), which are charged at cost price.

There is no extra charge for items laundered at the home. Items from the home's 'shop' are charged at or very near to cost price. The home does not charge transport costs for the home's weekly minibus group outings.

Individuals can request the home's transport for their own purposes; this is charged at 40p/mile only after the sixth mile, plus 5 pounds/hour for the driver. Theatre-goers were charged 15 pounds to cover ticket prices and staff escort costs. Current information about the service, including our reports, is available through the home's senior staff.
