Defining Nursing Care

Nursing care is for individuals with complex healthcare needs such as those who require 24-hour medical care and support with personal living needs. Our highly-trained staff are able to deliver intensive rehabilitative care such as peg feeding, supporting those with physical disabilities, and caring for residents with long-term health conditions.

Care homes and nursing homes can provide older people with a homely and supportive environment where they can get the care that’s right for them. Our purpose built care home has been designed to provide long-term health and personal care, offering facilities that are suitable for those with complex medical ailments and severe conditions. Delivered to residents on the second floor of our purpose built care home, residents receive the finest possible care at all times, day and night.
