Levels of Care That Meet Every Need

From independent-minded assisted living to round-the-clock skilled nursing, Heritage House provides the right level of support — and always with the warmth this community was founded on.

Level One

Assisted Living

◆

Our assisted living programme offers personalised support with the activities of daily living while honouring the privacy, preferences, and independence every resident deserves. This is not a one-size-fits-all model — each resident receives a bespoke care plan, reviewed monthly and adjusted as needs evolve.

Private and companion suites are available, all within Heritage House's beautifully maintained historic building. Residents are free to furnish and personalise their rooms, and have access to all communal spaces, dining, and the full activity programme.

Personalised daily care plans, reviewed monthly
Assistance with bathing, dressing, and grooming
Medication management and health monitoring
Three chef-prepared meals plus snacks daily
24-hour staffing with immediate response capability
Scheduled transportation to medical appointments
Full access to activities, gardens, and social programming

Level Two

Memory Care

◆

Heritage House's dedicated Memory Care neighbourhood provides a secure, calm, and expertly structured environment for residents living with Alzheimer's disease, other forms of dementia, and related cognitive conditions. Our team receives specialist dementia care training and holds qualifications from the Alzheimer's Association.

The Memory Care neighbourhood is purpose-designed: safe wandering paths, sensory garden, and personalised life-story work that connects residents to their own histories and brings comfort through familiarity.

Skilled Nursing

◆

For residents requiring round-the-clock clinical attention, Heritage House's Skilled Nursing unit provides hospital-grade care in a deeply humane setting. Our registered nurses work alongside licensed practical nurses, certified nursing aides, and on-call physician staff to ensure clinical needs are met without sacrificing comfort or warmth.

Skilled nursing at Heritage House is also home to our in-house rehabilitation programme, offering physical, occupational, and speech therapy for residents recovering from surgery, stroke, or injury.

Respite stays are available from a minimum of three days to a maximum of twelve weeks. Residents on respite stays receive full access to all communal facilities, meals, activity programming, and care services appropriate to their needs.

How We Work

Our Approach to Care

◆

📋

Individual Care Plans

Every resident has a written, personalised care plan developed in consultation with them and their family. Plans are reviewed monthly and updated whenever needs change, ensuring care always reflects the real person — not a generic profile.

🤝

Family Partnership

We hold formal care conferences every quarter, and our team is available between meetings to speak with families. Our family portal provides daily updates, and we operate an open-door visiting policy throughout the community.

🌿

Whole-Person Wellness

Clinical care is necessary — but it is never sufficient. Our care model attends equally to social wellbeing, mental stimulation, spiritual support, and physical comfort, because we know that quality of life depends on all of them together.
