Resident
We provide residential care for people who would struggle to live on their own and nursing care for residents who need round-the-clock attention from trained health care professionals. Our end-of-life care helps residents to live as well, as fully and as comfortably as possible.
Residents in our retirement living settings live independently but in the safety and security of gated sheltered housing – where help and companionship are always on hand if needed.
Whitgift House Apartments
A caring retirement community of sheltered accommodation nestled on the grounds of Whitgift School, for those who need only a helping hand with supported independent living.
Whitgift Almshouses
