Knightwood

Residential Home – Knightwood Court

Knightwood Court – a 20 bedroom residential and respite home for personalised care and home from home living.

Knightwood Court has been designed to provide people with a warm and safe environment. We pride ourselves on getting to know each of our residents as individuals and offering focused care that puts the individual at the heart of everything we do.

The 20 spacious rooms are all en-suite. Each room has a private terrace with direct access to the gardens, providing good natural light and a constant opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. The communal areas inside are comfortable and welcoming, providing a homely feel for residents and their visitors.

Our exceptional catering team produces mouth-watering and nutritional meals and our chef is always happy to meet any special request from the residents. Families and friends are also invited to join their loved one for a meal in the restaurant. Our staff team is on hand to provide dedicated, compassionate care around the clock. We also have support from the community nurse teams, local GPs and other healthcare professionals, in the same way these services are available to people living in their own homes. This multi-disciplinary approach means we can provide a supportive environment for each of our residents. Day care is also available at the home.

This purpose-built property is situated within attractively landscaped outdoor spaces. Located about a mile from the centre of Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh, Nr Southampton, Knightwood Court is within easy access of all the town’s facilities.

Respite Care

At Knightwood Court in Chandlers Ford, Eastleigh, Nr Southampton, Hampshire, we offer a range of respite care services which give older people and their carers short-term breaks.

Knightwood Court offers spacious, pleasant en-suite rooms available within our residential care home. Caring, expert staff focus on well-being, independence and a return to ‘home life’ as soon as possible.

The highly flexible services cover:

• respite – people who are caring for an elderly relative or friend can call on us to provide a respite service, on a regular, occasional or one-off basis. Respite care gives support to families and allows carers to take a valuable break or holiday.
• support for couples – if one partner’s care needs have increased, the second may temporarily need some extra help and support. We have adjoining rooms available.
• families in crisis – we can provide valuable ‘breathing time’ while families recover from a setback or need time to look into long-term residential care options. This can help to avoid rushed decisions and costly, disruptive mistakes.

Supported Care Apartment – we also have a self-contained, well-appointed two bedroom apartment available for short-term rent for people over 50 who need respite care or just a break for between one and six weeks. There is full access to Knightwood’s excellent facilities as well as the peace of mind which comes from knowing care and support services are on hand 24 hours a day.

We offer high quality hotel services, a relaxed welcoming environment, beautiful landscaped grounds and purpose-built modern facilities.

End-of-life Care

Our end-of-life services are focused on providing expert support for individuals and their families as they approach their last days, in a respectful, dignified and comfortable environment.

Our qualified, experienced staff are on hand at all times to provide nursing care, which is based on the expressed wishes of the individual. We work with other healthcare professionals to create a palliative approach which supports the person and their family.
