Life At Our Home

At Merafield View, we believe surroundings play an important role in comfort and wellbeing. Our home has been thoughtfully designed to feel welcoming, safe and familiar, offering residents both privacy and opportunities to connect with others. Every space is maintained to a high standard, creating an environment that feels calm, comfortable and reassuring.

All of our 40 purpose built bedrooms are decorated to the highest standard, with modern furniture and all of the rooms are fully accessible via the lift. Many rooms have far-reaching views across the valley of Plympton and Dartmoor. Every room has a TV many of which are smart TV’s as well as a modern emergency nurse call system.

We offer competitive pre bookable short term respite care, which can be as short as 1 to 2 weeks. We provide 24-hour respite care for older people who need extra support following an operation or illness, renovations or even if their regular carer takes a well-earned break!

We encourage residents to bring their own possessions and treasures – to turn their room into their very own home from home. We very much want our residents to feel relaxed, comfortable and familiar in their surroundings.

Our Housekeeping team ensure that rooms are cleaned daily, bins emptied and all rooms are supplied with fresh linen. We also have a Hydrotherapy room, which has a mobile hoist and is situated near the main lift. The room is wheelchair accessible and provides an invaluable facility for those requiring regular hydrotherapy sessions or simply a nice soak in the bath. Two wet rooms also provide the option for any guests that wish to have a shower.

Our onsite Chef’s, have many years of experience and guarantees our residents a varied and healthy selection of wholesome, home-cooked meals every day. Providing three nourishing meals a day, along with snacks and a full drinks menu means that residents get choices – not only what they eat, but when and where they want it.

All our ingredients are locally sourced and we have a trackable ‘farm to plate’ policy. This provides us with the peace of mind that all of our meats and produce are ethically sourced and are bought from local food producers.

Our daily menu caters for all dietary needs, including allergies and specialist dietary requirements. Any residents who require soft/pureed food will also be provided with a colourful, individually formed plate of food – which encourages the appetite and is representative of the food groups in appearance.

We understand not every resident may choose or be able to eat in the dining room – therefore meals can be enjoyed in their rooms and assistance given from our team of well qualified HCAs.

We believe that recreation and social interaction can boost a person’s well-being as well as providing companionship and meaningful activity. Our Activities Co-ordinator encourages residents to take up new hobbies, join in with games afternoons and is on hand to organise functions and day trips. For those residents who like a social life, we can provide outings including shopping trips, visits to local areas and group events. We love to celebrate a birthday and we don’t need an excuse for a good party or cake. Equally if reading or playing cards is more for you, then our peaceful conservatory may suit you better. There are plenty of quiet areas within the building, each with adequate lighting and space for quieter moments.
