About Eshcol House Nursing Home
Eshcol House provides convalescent, respite, long-term and palliative care for older people and adults with dementia, physical disabilities or other support needs. The family-run nursing home also arranges regular visits from a mobile dentist, optician and podiatrist.
Residents live in single-occupancy rooms, most with en-suite facilities, televisions and a 24-hour intercom nurse or carer call system. The home overlooks Gerrans Bay in Portscatho and supports visiting families, including visits at any time of day or night. Convalescent, respite, long-term and palliative care give families several options for changing care needs, from recovery support to ongoing nursing.
