Meet The Manager
Martin Corrigan is Home Manager at Hamble Heights.
Martin says: "I am delighted to be the Home Manager at Hamble Heights. The team, residents, and relatives have been incredibly welcoming. One of the most important aspects for me is focusing on what matters to our residents. Getting to know every individual and adapting our world around theirs to ensure they always feel comfortable and supported makes a huge difference.”
Martin has worked as a Home Manager for several different providers along the South Coast. He enjoys getting to know residents and learning about their life stories. He worked as a Regional Manager for two different care providers, before retiring in 2019. He returned to work in 2020 for a previous care provider to support one of their care homes through the first wave of the pandemic. Since this very challenging but rewarding experience, Martin has continued to work as an Interim Manager.
Feel truly comforted, at Hamble Heights
We understand that moving into a residential care home can be a difficult and daunting time for families. However, as a leading care home in the Southampton area, we aim to make the transition as easy as possible and to ensure families feel welcome.
We provide the highest levels of elderly care available, including Dementia / Alzheimer’s, nursing and residential care. Whether you need short or long term support, we offer the very best care from top healthcare professionals – not only in terms of their experience but also their compassionate nature.
Our purpose-built care home has a delightful community of 60 residences. Our first class care extends from wonderful staff and fantastic facilities, with an en suite bathroom in every room; to the very smallest of details, such as movement-triggered lights in the bathroom, touch lamps next to every bed, and a choice of nutritional meals every day – making life as comfortable and homely for you as we can.
All the comforts of home
Our highly qualified, dedicated care teams are specialists in each area of elderly care. Our distinctive and responsive individual care plans reflect not only your care needs but also your unique character and preferences.
The care team gets to know and understand each resident individually in order to provide them with the personalised care that they deserve.

Environments full of light and space are health-giving. As such, the architecture of Hamble Heights has been purposely designed with this in mind. Its grand French doors and large verandas bring an abundance of light to the communal rooms. Each floor has its own dining room and kitchenette. The kitchen and dining areas are beautifully fitted. Families can catch up over a cup of tea in the kitchen areas, or in the private dining rooms. The home’s salon ensures residents feel like a million dollars. The living rooms include comfy chairs where residents can relax in company, or they can choose to sit in more snug areas of the home if residents would prefer some quiet time. The landscaped garden offers a beautiful and peaceful place to relax. The raised flower beds and vegetable patch are ideal for any green-fingered residents who would like to help to tend. |
