A reassuring place to call home

A real home, with dependable care

Moving into residential care is a big step. It should not mean giving up choice, personality or the everyday pleasures that make life feel like your own.

Residents can enjoy company when they want it, privacy when they do not, and support whenever it is needed. Our team learns each person’s routines, preferences and interests, because good care is not only about what someone needs; it is about who they are.

The house behind the home

The building has character, but a home is made by the people within it. Familiar faces, everyday routines and the freedom to live life in your own way are what make Nettlestead feel like home.

What families say about Nettlestead

Mike Temple

In Nettlestead Retirement Home and its team we found a jewel that loved, cherished and looked after her to the end. Thank you so much.

Sue Digby

Thank you and all your staff for all you have done to care for Peggy. It is such a relief to myself and my family to know that she was in such good hands.

Joyce Lawrence

On behalf of myself and my family I would like to say a very sincere thank you for all you have done for Pearl during all the years she spent with you. I know she was happy with you. Many thanks to you all.

Lizzie Hardy

I feel part of the Nettlestead family. It is a wonderful care home and I just want to thank you for having the vision to make it feel like a home from home.

Sandie Archer

My nan had three and a half extremely happy years at Nettlestead, where she was treated with much love and kindness. I viewed many homes in the surrounding area and got more and more disheartened with each one. Nettlestead was different.

Tessa Cheek

With you and all the kind girls at Nettlestead, Mum passed one of the most contented periods in her whole life. We cannot be grateful enough for everything you did to make her comfortable and welcome.
