About the home
A home with its own character.
Originally built for the author H. G. Wells, this distinctive home combines historic character with modern nursing facilities, landscaped gardens and far-reaching sea views.
Residents can personalise their rooms, pursue their own interests and enjoy relaxed communal spaces and gardens. The home welcomes longer-term nursing needs as well as respite, convalescent and palliative care.
Choosing a home is a personal decision. Families are encouraged to speak with the team about routines, interests, communication, health needs and the practical details that help somebody feel comfortable, understood and secure.
