We provide nursing care, residential care for older people, specialist dementia nursing care and respite care, all delivered in a way that feels genuinely personal to each individual who comes through our doors.

Our two homes work closely together, which means we are able to support people at different stages of their journey and adjust the care we provide as needs change over time. Whether someone is joining us for a short respite stay or moving in on a longer term basis, we take the time to understand who they are, what matters to them and how they like their day to look.

Dementia care sits at the heart of much of what we do at Chelston Gardens. Supporting someone living with dementia well takes thought, consistency and a real understanding of the person behind the diagnosis.
