Nursing Care in Exeter

'The Dales' Nursing Home, in the residential area of Exeter, has always prided itself on being a recognised centre of nursing excellence. We have a competent and highly professional nursing team led by our Matron, who in turn has extensive experience of working with the elderly and infirm.

We have specialist experience in dealing with:
Parkinsons Disease, Strokes, Dementias, Cardiac & Pulmonary Disease, MS and Terminal Care.
We are also part of the Special Needs scheme organised by the Tissue Viability service at the Hospital at Wonford, in Exeter.

We are accredited by Manchester University to train qualified nurses from abroad. The training programme allows trainees to adapt to our way of nursing. Many of the RGN's we have trained work in other local nursing homes in Exeter and Devon, the Royal Devon & Exeter and Nuffield Hospitals.
