About the home

The Arkley has been purpose-built to achieve quality nursing and residential care packages, welcoming both short and longer-term stays. Carers are experienced in palliative and post-operative convalescence care, as well as in helping younger adults with a physical disability.

We're here when you and your loved ones need them most. For planned respite or last- minute trips. A safe space to recover after an operation. To experience what their home’s like before moving long- term. To just relax. Whatever the reason, their doors are open.

This modern home has a spacious interior with many pleasing aesthetics. A glass-domed central atrium is ideal for socialising in, while there is a choice of lounges and an on-site hairdressing salon. The home is situated within beautiful landscaped gardens and residents can enjoy the use of a patio area and relaxing sensory garden.

Meals can be enjoyed in elegant dining rooms or the privacy of residents’ bedrooms, with food freshly sourced to suit personal taste and diet.

Discussion groups, arts and crafts, and flower arranging are examples of some of the activity groups residents have formed, while there are many visiting entertainers and events to look forward to.
