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.

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.

What all-inclusive means for your family

Care That Remains Clear as Needs Change

All-inclusive care is not simply a list of services. It means fewer separate charges to manage, less uncertainty about everyday costs and a clearer understanding of the support your loved one will receive.

This gives families greater confidence when planning long-term care. Standard annual fee reviews, contractual terms and any clearly stated exclusions still apply and are explained in writing before admission.

Accommodation and personal care

A comfortable home with support shaped around individual routines, choices and assessed needs.

Nurses onsite 24 hours a day

Registered nursing support available day and night when residents require clinical care.

Meals, drinks and refreshments

Freshly prepared food, drinks and dining experiences that support health, comfort and enjoyment.

Activities and everyday wellbeing

Housekeeping and laundry

Everyday household services are handled, reducing the practical burden carried by families.

Dedicated private GP access

Familiar medical support working alongside our nurses, NHS services and external professionals.

No vague promises: before admission, we provide the current fee, standard inclusions, exclusions and relevant terms in writing, so you can decide with clarity and confidence.
