Merivale Care Home is the kind of place where you feel the warmth as soon as you walk in. Here, care isn’t just something we do, it’s the way we show up for people every day. Our team takes the time to get to know each person so we can support them in a way that feels natural, personal, and thoughtful.

Now offering respite care, you’ll find a team of dedicated staff who know you by name, and who go the extra mile to make every day brighter. Whether it’s a warm smile, a helping hand, or planning personalised activities, our people are what make Merivale so special.

Life at Merivale is filled with the small, meaningful moments that make a place feel special: friendly faces, warm conversations, shared meals, and activities that bring people together. As you stroll around the care suites, don’t be surprised by the delicious smell of home-cooked meals.

Our care rooms are thoughtfully designed to give you comfort, privacy, and space to make your own, each features a private ensuite bathroom.

Our meals are freshly prepared on site by our talented team, using quality ingredients and seasonal produce. You’ll always have a choice of tasty, nutritious dishes, lovingly prepared to suit your preferences and dietary needs.

If you want to know more about our respite offering, please contact Anne and make an appointment.
