Brief description

Knappe Cross is a 42-bed care home for older people with nursing needs. Thus Registered Nurses are part of the care team, throughout the day and night. In a semi-rural area of Exmouth, the house is a 3-storey Grade 2 listed building, which has been extended to include a large 2-storey annexe.

It is situated in its own grounds, with gardens, patio areas, ample parking and some views to the sea. The home has several lounges and sitting areas, a dining room and a 'function room'. Two small passenger lifts link the floors, one in the main building and one in the extension.

The home is also currently considering the installation of a stairlift. There are 34 single bedrooms and 4 double bedrooms. All but two of the rooms have ensuite facilities.

Information about this service, including our previous reports, is available from the home by contacting them directly. The fees range from 330-750 pounds per week, depending on the individual's needs, whether they are privately funded or funded through Social Services, and the room size.

This brief description is an overview of the service and may have been updated since the latest inspection report was published.
