About Longley Park View:
Longley Park View, part of Exemplar Health Care, is a specialist nursing home that supports adults living with complex and high acuity needs. We have 59 large bedrooms across four units, each with an en-suite wet room.
We encourage people to personalise their rooms so that it feels like home, whether that’s a full re-decoration or encouraging people to bring special items that are filled with fond memories.
The home also has communal dining and living space, as well as a sensory and therapy kitchen which provide a dedicated space for rehabilitation. We’ve found that this small group living provides a homely and supportive environment, which is more responsive to our Service User's needs.
Longley Park View is surrounded by a large landscaped garden, that’s been designed with accessibility in mind, and is ideal for parties, events and activities.
