About Althorp Grange
Specialist nursing at Althorp Grange supports people with complex physical health, dementia or mental health needs. The Victorian manor house is arranged across separate male and female complex-needs and dementia wards, alongside a ward for complex physical health.
The service accepts planned admissions, respite placements and discharge-to-assess referrals, with each person assessed by the clinical team before admission. It also supports hospital step-down and longer-term complex needs. Separate male and female wards provide a clearly defined structure for people requiring specialist nursing in a residential setting.

How much does Althorp Grange cost?
