Specialist Neurological Rehabilitation
Chase Park supports adults of all ages, abilities and disabilities. Our purpose is to promote residents’ well-being and work with each individual, ensuring their best interests are respected while assisting adults who require long-term nursing needs and those moving back into independent living after a period of rehabilitation. This service is provided to residents who can and will benefit from sessions with our on-site Occupational & Physiotherapists.
We offer high-quality nursing care across our two suites, including respite breaks and sensitive end-of-life care.
We aim to promote the independence, inclusion and well-being of people with support needs. We do this by working with individuals, their families and partner agencies to deliver innovative, high-quality services that meet the individual’s needs and aspirations, which are offered in a person-centred way. Chase Park works closely with Walkergate Park Hospital.
Dementia Nursing Service
Chase Park offers specialised nursing care for individuals with dementia.
Our experienced multi-disciplinary care team is dedicated to addressing a wide range of dementia-specific needs, ensuring a high support-to-resident ratio.
We are committed to providing the best possible care, utilising a person-centred and holistic approach. We understand that dementia is an illness that does not define our residents. Our focus on helping residents maintain their sense of self through various therapeutic methods and activities is essential for enhancing their quality of life.
Our two suites
Chase Park has 60 Beds across two buildings. Both are specially designed and adapted to provide the highest standards of accommodation and care. The majority of rooms have en-suite facilities or wet rooms, and many also have lovely views over our Japanese-style gardens.
Both buildings offer facilities specifically for service users to help assist with skills in preparation for independent living when they move back into the community. Our ground-floor living offers long-term care for individuals, or couples, who require a range of nursing needs.
There is a fully stocked therapy gym and hydro-pool on-site with a skilled therapy team facilitating the highest levels of rehabilitation and care.
The main building also has a café that serves food and drink and provides a welcome destination for those living with us, their families and visitors, and this overlooks the wonderful Feng Shui gardens with a fish pond.
