What is Nursing Care at Airthrey?

Clinical Excellence backed by Home Comforts.

For many families, the move to nursing care is driven by a change in health needs. At Airthrey Care Home, we bridge the gap between hospital-level clinical support and the warmth of a true family home.

Unlike standard residential homes, Airthrey is staffed 24 hours a day by registered nurses who are equipped to manage complex medical conditions. Whether you are looking for support with chronic illness, post-operative recovery, or palliative care, our single-storey layout ensures that professional help is always just a few steps away.

There is an extensive range of activities to suit all capabilities and I have accompanied my father to many of these, which he has enjoyed. The surroundings are beautiful and there is always tea, coffee and soft drinks available to visitors.

My mother feels safe, happy and content here and has nothing but praise for all the staff. Since the family live in England it gives us peace of mind to know that she is being well cared for.

The staff are excellent, nothing is too much bother. Since my mother moved in she has loved it. The facilities are excellent and kept immaculate, and the food has been great too. It is just a lovely environment and we know she is in safe hands.

The home was immaculate and very fresh. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my husband had an enjoyable and relaxing stay. His words at the end of his stay were that it was 'more like a hotel than a care home.' We would most definitely use them again.
