Ocean Swell is committed to providing quality services for residents by caring, competent, well-trained staff in a homely atmosphere. While we’re incredibly proud of our home, with its comfortable rooms, fantastic facilities and attractive furnishings, our delivery of care is always our priority.
There are as many personalities in our home as there are residents, and so providing customised lifestyle care comes as naturally to us as ensuring residents receive the required personal and medical care.
We don’t have set visiting hours – you can visit residents whenever you wish.
A limited amount of spending money for outings, hairdressing and similar activities would be beneficial.
