"My Mum was in your home Tyspane for three years, and those three years were very special for her. She was so happy, all the care staff were amazing, then when she was placed on end of life, the care staff were amazing, they went way above and beyond to care for her. But not only her, but the family as well, especially one carer, Mum loved them all."

"My 98-year-old father was a resident at Tyspane from February through to the end of August. Most of the time he thought he was staying in a four-star hotel - the home provides a bright and comfortable atmosphere with caring, well-motivated staff, the restaurant is lovely, the residents are presented with a three-course menu every day and make their choices as you would in a restaurant. There are activities every day for residents and physiotherapy is available on site. My father really did enjoy his one to one exercise routine. ( I really do admire how they managed to keep going, COVID free, during these very difficult times). Sadly my father died but I do know that he was very well cared for at Tyspane, they were very empathetic and helped us, during our grief."

"At very short notice Tyspane provided a fortnight's care and respite for me at a very difficult time for us. We will always be grateful for the help and support we received and would not hesitate to seek further support whenever we may need it in the future. My husband received the care and I received a fortnight's respite."

"My mother was a resident at Tyspane for over five years until she passed peacefully aged 93. The care and compassion given by every member of staff is second to none. The two unit heads, one on each floor, run the floors well, always making time for residents and family. Along with all their carers, they are professional and efficient, whilst always showing care and compassion. The manager, formerly deputy, unit heads, care team, admin team/receptionists, maintenance staff, physio, cleaning/laundry staff and chefs are all cheerful and work with commitment. During lockdown, the staff were more than happy to help Mum on Facetime so that we could all stay in contact with her. As Mum became weaker we were consulted throughout and we applaud the care and compassion given to her at the end of her life. We will miss the Tyspane family and thank them for making Mum's final five years happy and comfortable. I highly recommended Tyspane."

"Tyspane Care Home at Broughton has done more for the wife than the hospital and other helpers put together. Whilst, unfortunately, she has many disadvantages nothing seems too much bother to them.

"Our continuing thanks to Tyspane staff - all of them - for the wonderful care they give and the constant efforts they make which are way beyond just 'going to work' - they really try to make it feel like home for the residents. We especially appreciate how staff have 'kept going' and kept caring in this awful time of the pandemic. We know none of us is exempt from risk anywhere, but my family and I, feel that Tsypane is doing their absolute best to keep residents and staff safe. Thank you."

"Mum has been a resident at Tyspane now for around three and a half years. She has been happy with the facilities and care provided. I do not think we could have found her a more pleasant, comfortable, efficient and caring place to stay. In recent times with the Coronavirus issues and the required lock-down measures implemented we have been most concerned that Mum will begin to feel abandoned and become anxious. However, Tyspane's staff have enabled me to speak to her on the telephone at regular intervals and I am pleased to say that she seems happy and contented and appreciates the reasons as to why we are currently unable to visit her in her room. I am also pleased that I have recently been contacted by the staff who advised that following their earlier concerns with regard to a considerable weight loss the measures they put in place appear to have worked and she is continuing to recover the lost weight. I feel she is in a safe place and receiving the best care and attention possible."

Tyspane is always clean and tidy and has recently been redecorated and it is a very pleasant place to visit when seeing Mum. During the summer months, we are able to take Mum out and spend hours in the Tyspane gardens which are lovely. I highly recommend Tyspane and thank all the staff for making it so welcoming."

I recommend Tyspane Care Home."

"Within the last several months I've been invited to give two presentations to the resident -one on farming and the most recent on Christmas music. I've been very impressed with the home itself, but even more with the level of care given by the staff. The staff I've encountered obviously love the residents and treat them with love and thoughtfulness. The staff are always very hospitable and helpful to me. They make sure I have everything I need including refreshments! I always feel very welcomed here and I enjoy being able to share entertainment with the residents. This past time, the woman in charge of the entertainment made sure the mother of one of the residents was able to be there. There's a lot of consideration put into the wellbeing and happiness of the residents."

"I am the home carer and friend of a respite/daycare user. The support given to myself and my friend has been absolutely outstanding for the two years we have used respite/daycare. Though initially reluctant, my friend really enjoys her daycare and in particular, her physiotherapy sessions. All staff (nurses, carers, domestic, maintenance, management, physiotherapy, admin, etc) are so welcoming with really friendly smiling faces! At home, I am the sole carer and there have been several occasions when Tyspane has helped us out with respite care, enabling me to have short breaks, sometimes at quite short notice. The whole atmosphere, environment and ethos at Tyspane is, in my opinion excellent."

She enjoys flower arranging and crafts. Everyone tries to make her difficult life easier for her."

"Just to ensure you know that we have had wonderful service from the admin staff. On three occasions during October, we have had the need to go to reception and ask for use of different items i.e. tape measure, stickers, sellotape, use of scissors and most recently side cutters to change a plug. On each occasion, the receptionist has been extremely helpful and provided what we need. I want to say how happy, cheerful and helpful the administrator and receptionist are at all times. A big thank you to the admin and maintenance staff at Tyspane."

"I am very happy with the way the staff treat my Mum and all other residents at Tyspane, despite the fact that they are clearly understaffed. From the two unit managers, down to all care staff and cleaners, they always listen and act if Mum or indeed myself need anything. They work under pressure but always make time for everyone, often in extremely pressured circumstances. I am concerned however that we are waiting so long for my Mum's new wheelchair, as she is uncomfortable and not safe in her present chair. She needs secure belt as she tries to walk. Please expedite."

My aunt was very fond of animals and really enjoyed the occasional visits of dogs and even llamas, as well as the two resident cats. The food was good and my aunt enjoyed it. In her last days, she was well cared for and made as comfortable as possible."

"Tyspane Care Home is welcoming and friendly. Respect towards residents is paramount. Individual preferences and needs attended to with cheerfulness, kindness and professionalism. A very pleasing ambience has been achieved with recent re-decoration. The gardens are well kept. Residential care must be among the most challenging amenities to provide and particular credit is due to those who maintain good standards at Tyspane."

Judith Rcarehome.co.uk rating: 4 out of 5

"The recent redecoration has vastly improved the welcoming appeal of the facility. However, I do feel that this does not justify the significant increase in fees over the past few years.

"Having visited my wife (who has Alzheimers) almost daily for over 7 years, I know Tyspane and its staff really well. In looking for a care home for my wife, I visited most homes in North Devon and know it was the right decision to place her in Tyspane. The home has just undergone a major refurbishment with top-quality equipment and furnishings. All management and staff are competent, friendly and approachable. As indicated below, I consider Tyspane to be one of the best (if not the best!) in North Devon. The home and gardens are spottlessly clean and well kept. Never any unpleasant odours and the food is excellent."

Like most care homes, Tyspane has had some problems with staff leaving and having to employ agency staff, but I rate Tyspane as the best in North Devon as they now have a more permanent manager and staff, who are all friendly, approachable and provide good care for the residents and visitors. At 82, I live on my own, but Tyspane has become my second home, being able to visit my wife and socialise with staff and residents in lovely surroundings."

"My mother has been in Tyspane since March 2018. Initially, the intention was for her to be a short stay resident and we chose Tyspane because of the physiotherapy provision. However, my mother's needs have changed as time has passed. All the staff at Tyspane have been quick to adapt to her changing needs and are supportive and helpful. They are always kind and cheerful to Mum and to us, her family. This is much appreciated during what is a difficult and sad time for us and it is very reassuring to know that Mum is in such good hands and so well cared for. The office staff have also been very helpful and kind and have helped us through all the administrative processes that have been necessary. I would not hesitate to recommend Tyspane to other families."

"My father was greatly helped by the physiotherapy team who built up his strength in his arms. He went in for 2 weeks respite care which eventually extended to nearly 8 weeks before he was admitted to hospital. Throughout his stay, the individual staff were very caring but lacked management direction. Additionally, there was a lot of agency staff, as a result, the standard of hygiene in his room left a lot to be desired. However, with the appointment of a new management team, there was a big improvement and the level of care provided matched the excellence of the facilities."

"Your staff were pleasant and helpful always. There just were not enough of them. Snow made things difficult but snow aside, more staff were needed. On three occasions the resident was left on the commode for over 45 minutes at 'change over', not acceptable! We were told he would be walked every day. With only one physio this was not possible. Six weeks walking up and down your corridors would have done him so much good. With a few more staff you could live up to your catalogue promises."

Both hips are correctly placed and balanced and I will continue to improve - I believe that a stay at Tyspane of 2 weeks after each operation played a great part in my recuperation.

She thinks of it as her home. The food is excellent, the entertainment is wonderful and my mother is happy with everything. I visit at various times of the day and on different days, and the staff always welcome me, are always happy and smiling albeit they are always rushed off their feet. The benefit of additional staff would make the staff's lives a little easier as no matter how short they are, they always make time to their own detriment, not to the detriment of the residents. Excellent in every way."

They respected her individually and allowed her to retain that and her personal dignity to the very end. As we moved around Tyspane on our regular visits, we were always struck too by how warm and friendly everyone was - there was a lovely atmosphere there. When her final days came we were so grateful to be with her for the final days and nights and for all the support that we and she were given, so that she was able to be calm and comfortable in her final hours. We were very touched by how the staff clearly care about, and for, her and highly recommend Tyspane."

All the staff were caring, helpful and went that extra mile for my aunt. My aunt was always clean and well presented as she could do nothing for herself.

The management and staff are always caring, approachable, friendly and courteous. Any concerns I have are dealt with quickly and efficiently. I fully understand the difficulties but have noted on some visits, particularly at weekends and bank holidays, there have been an apparent shortage of staff and like most care establishments, agency staff have to be employed, who, whilst caring, put more pressure on the permanent staff on duty and do not know fully the requirements of the residents. Living on my own at 80 years of age, my visits to my wife and the home have become a great help to me, as I socialise with the staff and some of the residents, who I have known for much of my life."

It takes a special person to be a carer and they're all lovely here. There are always things going on, lots of keep them occupied. The manager runs it very well. She always has a smile on her face, made you feel very welcome."

"My daughter aged 51 has very bad M.S and was in need of complete nursing care. Since moving to Tyspane in August 2015, she has blossomed, gained confidence and is very happy and very busy, even though she cannot stand/walk and is hoisted everyday, she cannot swallow with ease and often chokes, her dietary care is well provided for. The care she gets, enables her to live a full and contented life, with quality and dignity. I no longer cry when I leave her, as her condition has saddened me greatly. I now know she has good care and she is happy."

"My husband was a resident for only three months, during which time he seemed very happy there and formed a very loving relationship with some of the staff who understood his dementia problem and treated him very sentimentally. I visited him every afternoon and obviously wasn't able to monitor hour by hour caring, but from what I saw everything appeared to be first class. Unfortunately my darling husband passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago. The staff, form the senior members to all the nurses and carers were very kind during that awful time. I hold Tyspane in great esteem. It is a pity that the very high fees prohibit more people from experiencing this care home. They are the highest in the area."
