About The Manor House Residential Home

The Manor House is a small residential home located on Fore Street in Seaton, a coastal town in East Devon. It provides care for up to 15 residents, with a particular focus on older people and those living with dementia. The home is operated by Ambient Care Limited and holds a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission following its most recent inspection in April 2019.

As a smaller care home, it offers a more intimate setting compared to larger facilities, which can be beneficial for residents requiring personalised attention and those with dementia-related needs. The Seaton location provides access to the town centre and nearby coastal amenities, while remaining within easy reach of wider Devon services and support networks.
