Torr Home Ltd a registered charity whose origins go back to 1860 and has operated out of Torr Home since 1929. We care for both men and women aged 50 years and older. The Charity was established to care for the blind in Plymouth. In 1929 the charity moved its operation to Torr House with care focused, in those early years, entirely on the blind and visually impaired. We have widened our scope considerably to provide Nursing, Nursing Dementia and Residential care. We also have retirement apartments for those over 55 years which are in the grounds of Torr Home. Whilst retaining the specialist skills in caring for the visually impaired, Torr Home has a commitment to achieving the highest standards of professional care and service for those who, through the ageing process or illness, are having trouble sustaining independent living and need continuing care in the community.
Torr Home’s evolutionary approach to caring, means always keeping abreast of changes as well as embracing and adopting any new standards introduced in the Care Sector. Care is provided for nursing and residential residents. We are committed to providing the highest standard of care in a warm homely environment. We encourage our residents to live with dignity, respect and privacy whilst enabling residents to lead an independent and active life, through promotion of choice in all aspects of their care.
