Setting
St. Martin’s is a small, family-run nursing home providing high quality nursing care in a comfortable, homely atmosphere. The home is set in a large Victorian House which retains many of it’s original period features and provides nursing care for 24 residents on a long, short or respite basis.

Every resident in our care has an individual care plan which is reviewed regularly by a qualified nurse. Additional services such as chiropody, physiotherapy and aromotherapy can be arranged as well as visits from opticians, hairstylists and dentists.
Local church ministers from a variety denominations visit the home on a regular basis. Individual Clergy are welcome at all times.
