Meet The Manager
Nightingale Retirement Care Limited is the operator at Nettlestead Care Home.
Near the bustling centre of Bromley, Nettlestead is a substantial Victorian villa set in its own well-kept grounds. The furnishing and decoration is anything but institutional, with any essential care aids sympathetically blended in. The bedrooms are stylish and individual, and there are large communal areas for socialising.
Effective care depends on a highly skilled team, a team committed to developing their skills through continuous improvement. But we believe what really makes the difference is an attitude of personal responsibility to you as an individual.
As a long-standing family-run firm, this attitude runs through all we do. Not only that, but as we are transitioning to a family-employee partnership, every team member is very motivated to make sure your needs are exactly met.

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.
| What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe | ||
|---|---|---|
|
At Nettlestead Care Home, the safety and well-being of both residents and staff is a top priority. The home maintains a secure environment through regular safety checks, ongoing staff training, and clear emergency procedures. Fire safety measures, including alarms, extinguishers, emergency lighting, and evacuation routes, are regularly inspected and maintained. Communal areas and access routes are kept clear and free from hazards, and all equipment is safely stored. Staff are trained to respond quickly to any medical or care needs, with additional support from external healthcare professionals when required. These measures ensure a safe, comfortable, and well-managed environment for everyone at Nettlestead Care Home. |
