About
Nightingale Court Care Home is a purpose-built home in the heart of Waterlooville, Hampshire, founded in 2021 by its proprietor, Mark Doran, with the aim of giving older people a safe place to live. The home provides residential and dementia care for up to 40 residents. It is set in a small town close to the south coast, with local shops, GP surgeries and dentists nearby, and it arranges regular outings to places such as Hayling Island, Emsworth and Chichester, as well as days out in historic Portsmouth. Residents can take part in activities at home too, including jam making in the kitchen and a Sunday trip to the pub before lunch. The home works with local churches, veterans' groups and other community organisations, and it runs dementia awareness sessions for families.
The Care Quality Commission currently rates Nightingale Court Care Home as Requires Improvement overall, with Good ratings for effective, caring and responsive care, and Requires Improvement for safe care and for well-led management.
