Quality Of Life
Southern Healthcare was established in 2001 by Geoffrey Cox, with a vision of enhancing the quality of life people experience in residential care homes in Devon to one that is evidently holistic, individually focused and most of all, built on a sense of family. We work in partnership and build meaningful relationships between staff, residents and relatives.
Eden Alternative UK & Ireland Certificate of Recognition
Currently we have three Homes who have received ‘Overall Outstanding’ from the Care Quality Commission
- All of our Homes hold the Eden Alternative UK & Ireland Certificate of Recognition and feature on the Eden Alternative register of Homes
- Sefton Hall and Parkwood House have Level 1 ( Outstanding) in Meaningful Care Matters ‘Butterfly’ Dementia Care with The Old Rectory and The Seaton close running by holding level 2 (Excellent) this year. These awards are considerably hard to achieve, and so a huge well done to all of the teams.
- Sefton Hall has gained The Gold Standard Framework for palliative care this year. Parkwood House also has a similar award called the ‘Six Steps’ in End of life Care. Both The Old Rectory and The Seaton are starting their achievement this year and hope to have gained this prestigious award of the ‘GSF’ in the early months of 2026.
