Our Services

At Quenby Rest Home, we provide permanent or long-term care for individuals who are no longer able, or no longer wish, to live at home. Our experienced team delivers 24-hour support in a warm and welcoming environment, where residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms and make the space their own. Family and friends are always welcome and often become part of daily life at Quenby. Many residents begin with a short-term stay to experience the quality of care and comfort we offer before making a longer-term commitment.

We also specialise in palliative and respite care. Our palliative care is delivered in close partnership with local hospitals, hospices, and GPs, ensuring the highest standard of support for those with complex or life-limiting conditions, along with emotional support for families. For those in need of short-term care, our respite service provides expert 24-hour support, ideal for giving full-time carers a break. Respite stays start from two weeks and can be tailored for a variety of needs, including dementia support, nursing care, and assistance with physical disabilities.
