ANOTHER HUNDRED YEARS OF CARE

We are proud to celebrate our centenary with the construction of Admiral Jellicoe House, a brand new, state-of-the-art care home to support the naval veteran community in Portsmouth, home of the Royal Navy.

Our superb care home has facilities to support residents with varying care needs including residential care, nursing care and specialist in-house dementia care.

Supporting independence with wraparound care in later life, our caring community reinforces camaraderie and shared experience of a life of service in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. We are now open and accepting resident applications.

Embracing the next chapter in life

Our luxury home has been furnished to an exceptional standard with personal touches that encourage residents to reminisce, enjoy and feel comfortable in familiar surroundings. From nostalgic features and daily traditions, to specialised crockery and cutlery to suit residents with varied needs, we believe in embracing every chapter of life and are here to support and empower our residents in their journey. Our Home Manager, Gill Irish, has a wealth of experience in care and a passion for creating a caring environment where residents can live independently with respect and dignity.

CARE OPTIONS

People living with dementia

We pride ourselves on our unparalleled in-house dementia support and care services, supported by latest technology innovations. Our dementia service is designed to enable members of our community to live purposeful lives and experience moments of joy through positive interactions.

People in need of residential care

Our residential services focus on each individual and their need to maintain independence through agreed interventions. Our residential service is a community within a community whilst empowering residents with the freedom to access the wider local facilities at will.

People in need of nursing care

Our nursing services support people with more complex medical needs. Our philosophy is promoting independence and enabling the living of positive lives that challenge individuals and supports a ‘can-do’ attitude.

People in need of rehabilitation/therapy

We aim to promote independent living and support our visiting residents with quality care that helps them to return successfully to their own home. As part of this we access veterans services as well as health and social care.

Flexible Respite

This service is for individuals or couples who wish to remain at home but stay with us for short periods of care. Our nursing and care staff are trained to a high standard, supported by skilled and experienced ancillary staff with specialist training to ensure outstanding standards are part of our culture.
