Our dedicated team is committed to providing compassionate and personalised convalescent care that promotes healing, comfort, and well-being for our residents.

What is Convalescent Care?

Convalescent care, also known as post-acute or transitional care, is a specialised form of care that focuses on assisting individuals during their recovery period after a hospital stay. Our convalescent care services are tailored to meet the specific needs of older adults who require additional support and supervision while recuperating. Convalescent care may be required following hospital stays for procedures such as major surgeries (e.g, joint replacements, heart surgeries), treatments for chronic illnesses (e.g, chemotherapy), recovery from serious injuries (e.g, fractures, spinal cord injuries), or managing complex medical conditions (e.g, stroke, pneumonia).

Our Approach to Convalescent Care

We take a bespoke approach to convalescent care, working with the individual, while considering the physical, emotional, and social aspects of our residents’ well-being. We strive to create a warm and welcoming environment and offer the support needed for seniors to regain their strength, independence, and confidence.
