The Firs is a homely residential care home in the village of Witheridge, midway between Tiverton and South Molton. Housed in an elegant early-1900s manor-style building that once served as the village doctor’s house, it offers spacious communal rooms and a large, landscaped garden – a perfect setting for those who enjoy gentle rural living and watching the seasons change.

The Firs specialises in residential and dementia care, along with respite stays. All bedrooms are fully furnished and most have en-suite facilities, but residents are encouraged to add their own touches to make the room feel truly theirs. With a friendly, long-standing staff team and a strong sense of community, The Firs is a place where residents are known by name, stories are shared over tea, and families are welcomed as partners in care.

At South West Care Homes, our purpose is simple: to provide the highest quality care in warm, welcoming homes where people are treated as individuals, not numbers. Across our family of homes in Devon, Somerset  and Cornwall, we combine professional, well-trained teams with a genuine focus on dignity, independence and quality of life.
