Our Rewards and Benefits Package
Hampden House is a 66-bed purpose-built nursing home located within the prestigious Duchy Estate. The home provides the highest level of facilities and services from personal and nursing care, short-stays and end-of-life care. We have recently opened a new "memory suite" for those who require extra care due to a dementia diagnosis, while the rest of the home offers a more hotel-like atmosphere, allowing residents with full capacity the freedom to come and go as they wish. Residents in the main part of the home benefit from a touch of additional care provided by our friendly, dedicated team, ensuring their day-to-day life remains relaxed and enjoyable.
The home consists of a spacious and stylish communal area complete with a large TV and a bar, along with an elegant dining area. These areas are complimented by a vast number of windows which make the space very open and light. These areas wrap around a courtyard lushly adorned with foliage and is a lovely suntrap. In fact, the staff often put out tables and chairs in the summertime, so their residents have the option to eat al-fresco or simply enjoy the sunshine.
Hampden House is also currently undergoing some transformational renovations to provide a more extravagant yet homely, cosy atmosphere.
The HICA Group is a 'Not for Profit' organisation providing a range of care services to older people and people with learning difficulties, both within residential and nursing homes and within the community.
