Our well trained professional nurses and care staff provide excellent standards of care supporting residents as well as nursing those who are perhaps frail with complex care needs in a warm and friendly manner, inspired by the values of kindness, empathy, integrity, respect and trust.

Professionally designed spacious furnished suites are exceptional in size with lounge areas, underfloor heating, boasting large ensuite designer wet rooms, overhead hoists and profiling beds ready to be personalised as residents choose with many offering light bright sea views or looking onto beautiful landscaped gardens with patios.
