A Fresh New Look at Banksfield Nursing Home!

We’re delighted to share that the painting project at Banksfield Nursing Home is now complete and what a transformation it has been!

After thoughtful consultations with our wonderful residents, their families, and our dedicated staff team, we chose beautiful pastel colours to brighten and refresh our home. The result is a lighter, warmer, and more uplifting environment that truly reflects the comfort and care we provide every day.

The soft pastel tones have brought a new sense of calm, positivity, and freshness throughout the home, creating an even more welcoming space for everyone who lives, works, and visits here.

We warmly invite our local community to come and see the transformation for yourselves. Our doors are always open for visits and enquiries.

We currently have a few beds available for those looking for a caring, comfortable, and vibrant place to call home. If you or a loved one are considering care options, we would be delighted to speak with you and show you around.

Come and experience the new-look Banksfield — where care meets comfort in a beautifully refreshed setting.
