Vane Hill

We are looking forward to welcoming you to the home and showing you around.

Alcohol past & present support services

Vane Hill is registered to provide accommodation and care for a maximum of thirty-two people who are in the registration category of past or present alcohol dependence and are over 40 years of age. In exceptional circumstances, people between the ages of 18 and 39 may be admitted, if it can be shown that their assessed needs can be properly met. We do not provide a service for people who continue to abuse alcohol.

The home

Vane Hill comprises two fine Victorian residences adjacent to each other, set above the harbour and boasting stunning views of Torbay. The home is situated in a quiet residential area at the end of a cul-de-sac. Meadfoot Beach, Beacon Cove and the town centre are all within walking distance.

Support

We have been providing specialist residential care for people living with alcohol related brain damage such as Korsakoff's syndrome at Vane Hill for almost 20 years.  The staff team at Vane Hill is experienced in supporting new residents in poor states of health. The support we provide aims to improve residents' physical and mental health from the outset. We help the residents to regain skills and interests they had earlier in their lives. Independence, dignity and self esteem can all be improved upon by supporting the residents in undertaking daily living tasks around the home and maintaining good standards of personal hygiene. Our residents can grow food in Vane Hill's allotment style garden and then prepare and cook the produce in our kitchens.  Parties of residents enjoy taking part in regular outings; the fresh air and walking on Dartmoor is a particular favourite. Holidays for the residents away from the home have been successfully run for many years to areas such as the North Devon Coast.

Vane Hill's manager has 20 years of experience in supporting this client group and his staff team reflect his dedication, expertise and long service in this home from home. Residents at Vane Hill benefit from the consistency of support that our staff team provides.

Skills For Care

Manager, Steve Todd, together with his staff and residents have received widespread recognition for the work they have achieved through the Skills for Care programme. Residents undertake training alongside the staff as well as independently. Apart from training in Health & Safety, First Aid and Fire Awareness residents are also undertaking NVQ training at level 2. Steve, pictured here with some of his staff and residents, have recently been recognised in the Torbay press and in the Skills For Care newsletter.
