Residential Care in Torbay
Sesame is situated in a residential area of Torquay, close to shops and on a bus route. Easy accessibility to resources and local social networks. The home has four bedrooms with private facilities, a large communal living room, dining room/conservatory, kitchen, and front garden and rear courtyard. It is designed to be a family home, providing space for varied activities as well as relaxation in a safe and secure environment.
How We Work
We work with our residents, their relatives and external professionals to develop dignified, person-centred care plans, ensuring that the resident’s voice is at the centre of all we do. The home adopts a relaxed, open, positive, fun and inclusive environment for people to participate in all aspects of life within their home, consulting with them about how Sesame is run to help us constantly improve things using their feedback.
People living at Sesame are involved and included in the running of the home; they help with staff recruitment, choosing environmental changes, engaging in day-to-day living tasks as well as community networking.
Activities are always person led. We support people to engage in outside visits and holidays, providing support for them and their families when away from Sesame. Socialising with and developing friendships with fellow residents is supported and encouraged, enhancing the family vibe.
The staff team are led by an open and transparent management team who have a wealth of knowledge and experience. They upskill staff through training, regular catch ups and supervision, promoting a positive and inclusive culture. Staff retention is high, with many staff being longstanding. Staff have described Sesame as “one of the best places to be”, “It’s like I am just spending the day with family when I am on shift”.
