Gorseway Park Retirement Village offers beautiful nursing and residential homes in a stunning location directly opposite the beachfront. The homes are finished and furnished to a high standard, creating a warm, homely atmosphere within a first-class, spacious environment. Residents and visitors can enjoy plentiful landscaped gardens and a peaceful large pond home to elegant Koi carp.
They are proud to have two care homes on site: The Manor, residential home, and The Lodge, nursing and dementia nursing home.
The Manor is a charming and characterful building, featuring a wonderfully large communal lounge that was once a ballroom - perfect for socialising, relaxing, and enjoying activities together.
The Lodge is a purpose-built nursing home where dedicated nursing team is available 24 hours a day. Experienced staff are passionate about delivering high-quality nursing and residential care, offering an ideal alternative for those who no longer wish, or are unable, to manage at home. Residents are empowered to maintain their independence, make choices, and enjoy freedom in a safe and supportive setting.
Within The Lodge, the Prince of Wales Unit specialises in dementia care, providing an enriching, stimulating, safe environment designed to help every resident thrive while offering families reassurance and peace of mind.
The Queen Elizabeth Unit supports residents with more physical nursing needs, ensuring tailored and compassionate care at all times.
The team would be delighted to show you around.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch for further information or to arrange a viewing - they are always happy to offer tours of The Lodge, The Manor, and the beautiful grounds, often at short notice.

My father stayed in Gorseways for respite in August, he was happy there and would be very willing to stay again. Overall, the care was good and very friendly staff who treated my father well. The only issue we had really was lack of activities as other residents were more advanced in their Dementia/Alzheimers. The room was lovely, overlooking the fish pond and garden. I would certainly recommend this care facility.

My first impression standing at reception was how clean and modern and smart it is, more like a hotel. The manageress is such a warm and friendly, helpful person - the staff are wonderful. All the rooms are large and comfortable with a view of the beautiful gardens. The restaurant is more like a hotel dining area with a view of the garden. The food is very good with second helpings if you wish. I do not want to go home, I enjoy the activities.
I cannot speak highly enough of Gorseway Lodge. Also the biggest factor - there is no smell of urine, everywhere is clean.

Having visited for a look round before booking my mother in law in for 2 weeks respite after spinal fusion surgery we were continually chasing for a promised assessment of her needs after discharge from the hospital. Finally, it happened and she was taken from the hospital in Salisbury to this care home. She stayed for one night! The call system bells were going all night and staff were very hard to find. We were sold a peaceful, stress-free recovery time for my mother in law after major surgery. This is not what she got. The room seemed pleasant enough when we looked around. Sadly the floors were sticky and the bedding smelt very unpleasant when she eventually went to bed. She hardly slept and her stay did not even last 24 hours.
Considering how much she was to be charged for her two-week stay I definitely think that this home could do so much better.
↩Reply from Sarah Hayman, General Manager at Gorseway Park Retirement Village
I am so sorry to hear your stay wasn't an enjoyable one. Our values are to make sure every resident is made comfortable well cared for at all times.
As the manager of the home, I am deeply saddened to hear that this was not the case, if you would like to discuss this further, please contact Gorseway and ask to speak to the acting Manager and I will be happy to talk with you.

Since my father has been released from the hospital he has improved tremendously whilst in Gorseway Lodge's care. The staff are kind and compassionate and are working with dad to implement the physio's exercise plan to improve his mobility. We lost his wife recently too and the staff followed our lead keeping quiet about mums death until dad was ready and then supporting him through the following days.
They far exceeded our expectations by laying on a mini bus to take us all to the funeral allowing a small wake in their lounge and even giving dad condolences flowers. We are delighted with their service and feel the staff care for him, as we would do. Superb..

This is my first experience of a care/nursing home and I am pleasantly surprised. My room has all home comforts - TV with Freeview, en-suite, armchair etc. A very nice view out onto gardens. I am a 'fussy' eater but all my likes and dislikes were catered for, while all the staff are very friendly and helpful. There are several activities, podiatrist and hairdresser available and there are two communal lounges.
All very pleasant.

The manager and team have been great at all the paperwork side but the stars are the team leaders. Amazingly hard working and problem-solving geniuses. The food is appetising and nutritious and my dad has his appetite back.
His clothes get washed daily and he is clean too. His wishes are respected and he seems happy here.

I can't recommend Gorseway highly enough. My mother has been on the Dementia ward for 5 months now, and all the staff have been consistently friendly, helpful and patient with her. There is always a choice of 2 meals and puddings every mealtime and the meals look very good. The rooms are spacious, clean and bright, with ensuite bathrooms.
It is such a relief to know that she is in good hands and I don't need to worry on her behalf.

Since the new manager has been working at Gorseway in the last few months you certainly see a marked improvement in the running of the home. The atmosphere feels much better amongst the staff, but it would be good to see more permanent staff, than using agency workers. When you arrive in reception you are always welcomed by the lovely receptionist. My friend always looks clean, comfortable and well looked after. Her meals are always hot and fed to her with care and attention. Iw ould be happy to recommend Gorseway Care. Also, the nurses are always happy to discuss any queries you may have. Also, they contact me at home if they think necessary.
