Residential Care in Dartmouth

Bayards Court has been designed with exceptional care in mind. With spacious corridors, an abundance of communal spaces that promote independence and fun, and electronic care plans on standby to create a residential care plan as unique as you are.

We are here to help you to continue living an extraordinary life, fulfilling your life choices and aspirations. And it’s the little things too – such as knowing whether it’s one sugar or two in your cappuccino, or a little extra butter on your toast. This is just as important to us too.

Vivant Care

Live Your Life your way

At Bayards Court, we aim to stand out from other care homes in the Dartmouth area. From our care home design and high-quality dining experience, to our array of communal living areas, Bayards Court will be full of opportunity and delight.

We genuinely believe elderly care shouldn’t be expected or boring, it should be brimming with choice – choosing between community visits or your favourite tipple in our welcoming cocktail bar. Or whether to meet with friends in our café or hosting visits with your grandchildren in our family room or listening to a choir in the auditorium.

We are passionate about quality care, but also opportunity, fun, vibrancy and lifestyle – that’s the Vivant difference, that’s believing in extraordinary care.
