Residential Care


Residential care is for people who need support with daily life, personal care, meals, routines and companionship. At Esmere Gardens, residents are encouraged to stay independent where possible, while knowing help is always close by.

Dementia Care


Our dementia care supports people living with memory loss, confusion or dementia-related changes. We focus on calm routines, familiar relationships, dignity, emotional reassurance and meaningful daily life.

Nursing Care


Our nursing care is for people with more complex health needs who require support from registered nurses. This may include clinical monitoring, medication support, mobility needs or care after illness or hospital discharge.

Respite Care


Respite care offers short-term support for recovery, family carer breaks, trial stays or temporary changes at home. It gives families time to rest, plan and feel reassured that their loved one is safe.

Emergency/Urgent Care


When circumstances change suddenly, we may be able to support urgent or unplanned admissions. Families can contact us directly to discuss current availability and care needs.
