Convalescent Care
Who is it for?
Convalescent care at Ridgegate Home is designed for elderly individuals recovering from illness, surgery, injury or a hospital stay who need additional support and time to regain their strength before returning home.
This may include recovery from hip or knee replacements, cardiac events, strokes, falls, infections, or other medical conditions. Some individuals simply need time to build up their strength and confidence after a prolonged hospital stay before managing independently at home again.
Our smaller community of up to 23 residents ensures a calm, supportive atmosphere where you can focus on your recovery without the pressures of managing a household. Our care team works with you to support your rehabilitation goals and rebuild your independence.

Convalescent Care
Our Approach
Our care teams work closely with healthcare professionals to provide person-centred convalescent care that supports your recovery goals. We focus on building strength, confidence and independence through a combination of professional care, good nutrition, and encouragement.
Each convalescent guest receives a personalised care plan developed in consultation with them, their family, and healthcare professionals. This plan addresses physical recovery needs, mobility goals, medication management, and any ongoing health monitoring required.
We provide support with physiotherapy exercises as prescribed, assistance with daily activities as needed, and encouragement to gradually increase independence. Our kitchen team prepares nutritious, home-cooked meals to support healing and recovery, with menus tailored to any dietary requirements.
Our beautiful period property offers a peaceful environment for recuperation, with comfortable rooms (most with en-suite facilities), accessible communal areas, attractive gardens for gentle exercise, and an internal lift for those with mobility challenges.
Families are welcome to visit at any time, and we maintain regular communication to update you on progress. Most convalescent stays last a few weeks, though the duration is flexible depending on individual recovery needs.
