Leopold Nursing Home, the home for you with nursing care is a beautiful Victorian house that has been tastefully modernised to accommodate 36 residents and is located close to the town centre and yet only a short distance away from the sea front . Leopold Nursing Home provides cosy and comfortable single rooms for absolute privacy and companion rooms which you share with another resident where you enjoy companionship and friendship while still adequately maintaining your privacy. Leopold Nursing Home is now refurbished to a high standard, but you can add items of your favourite furniture and other small cherished objects to personalise your home and retain the feel of your home. The home would consider favorably if you wish to bring your cat or similar pets. All rooms have television points and safety features such as smoke detectors and 24-hour nurse-call systems. We have a beautiful dining area, two living areas, and a sun room / conservatory where one can relax and socialize in comfortable and enjoyable surroundings.

Meal times are important and we want them to be a sociable and enjoyable part of the day. Our experienced chefs provide a daily choice of menus which can be adapted to personal preference and dietary requirements.

Our kitchen is never closed. Refreshments are provided throughout the day. Morning tea and biscuits, and afternoon tea are always popular with residents just as the main courses.

Meals can be taken in the residents' rooms or in the many living and dining areas as well as in the garden on a nice day.
