Rated as Outstanding in our latest CQC report, and determined to keep it that way, Windy Ridge Care Home is a traditional style seaside house within walking distance of the sea. We have up to 21 residents who require nursing care for physical or mental health conditions, or need end-of-life care. A true home from home, our residents have input in deciding on décor, activities and menus, and are supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives in the least restrictive way possible.
