About us:

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 are 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.

Please note that successful candidates will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check.
