Nursing Care
People who come to us for nursing care may be living with long-term conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis or motor neurone disease; others may have suffered a stroke and require intensive rehabilitative care. Many people, as is often the case with older people, will have additional health problems such as dementia or restricted mobility.
Every one of our residents receives a warm person-centric approach to their care in a comfortable, safe, homely environment. A clinical expert runs our compassionate registered nursing team. Together with GPs they care for residents’ varying medical needs to maximise their independence and fulfilment of daily life. The team works closely with family members to assess the level of care required and to draw up a personal care plan, which respects individual needs and wishes and treats residents with the dignity and kindness they so richly deserve.

Caring Like Family
For our staff, care is not a career choice, it is part of our nature. We know it is the little things that can make all the difference – like always having time for a chat, knowing the names of your children and grandchildren, and never forgetting a birthday or anniversary. Our uniquely styled homes offers security, independence and round-the-clock personal support for those with a condition that requires frequent specialist care.
Our individual care plans help to ensure the precise needs of every single resident are recorded – everything from the meals they enjoy, hobbies they love and their personal routines. These plans also cover specialist care requirements and dietary needs, guaranteeing our team can contribute directly to each unique resident’s happiness and health.
We offer a complimentary hand massage, manicure, reflexology for overall well-being and health.

Our friendly team of compassionate carers understands the different stages and types of the condition and their extensive experience ensures the continuity and consistency that is so vital to people with dementia. Every one of our residents receives a warm person-centric approach to their care, which is based on respecting their individual needs and wishes and treating them with the dignity and kindness they so richly deserve. Our carers love nothing more than chatting over a cup of tea, reminiscing through old photo albums and getting to know residents’ likes, dislikes and habits.
