Our Care Services

Every person’s care needs are unique, which is why we take time to understand not just what support each resident needs, but how they prefer to receive it. Our purpose-built home features three specialist wings, each designed to provide optimal care for different needs.

13 ensuite bedrooms

On-site Physiotherapy

We understand that maintaining mobility and independence is of the utmost importance for our Residents’ wellbeing. For this reason, Arlington Grove has an on-site physiotherapist, meaning that Arlington Grove’s Residents benefit from their input free-of-charge. The physiotherapist carries out an initial assessment on mobility, and subsequent mobility care plan reviews thereafter.

Our Residents can also opt to purchase an intensive Premium Physiotherapy Package to work on a targeted area. We know that starting a new service can be daunting, especially when it is focused on physical activity. If you are unsure if the Premium Physiotherapy Package is for you, you can request a free Taster Week by speaking with the Home Manager. More details on our Premium Physiotherapy Packages can be found here.

What Our Residents Say

Real Stories, Real People

My initial experience of Arlington Grove was in mid to late April when my father was admitted. The staff at Arlington were so professional and friendly , they made a very stressful day for us welcoming , calm and safe . The Rooms, Facilities and Grounds at Arlington are of an exceptional standard , and this is complemented by a professional and caring staff. I would recommend anyone whose in the same position to visit Arlington Grove , I think that you will struggle to find anything better.

Mike C (Son of Resident) 4 May 2026

Arlington Grove is a beautiful care home. The staff are all focussed on making the residents have a stress free experience. The gardens are wonderful and such a bonus to be able to enjoy them. I would be happy to leave any family members in their care.

J H (Niece of Resident) 5 February 2026

I enjoyed two weeks' excellent respite care after a CAR T cell transplant at Bristol Haematology and Oncology Centre. The fine facilities and kind, caring staff provided an ideal environment in which to recover from 3 intense weeks in hospital of chemotherapy and post transplant issues. The food was excellent and every day I much enjoyed walking around the garden paths for exercise. The staff took good care of my medication, observation and other needs. It felt more like being in a brand new boutique hotel than a care home.

C M (Respite Resident) 16 January 2026

Arlington Grove is a superb care home. It feels far more like a hotel than a care home and the facilities (and food!) are excellent. We've used the Family Room for Mum's birthday which had been beautifully decorated by the staff and other highlights include the lounges, bar, hairdressing salon, cinema and beautiful gardens. Pets are welcome and we usually take along our dog who also loves the gardens. The staff are exceptional, always highly professional, friendly and caring. There are lots of activities arranged and the staff work really hard to care for Mum and the other residents. The support from the staff (both during the settling in period and ongoing) has been brilliant. It's been a 'challenging' few months making the move to a care home but we firmly believe we couldn't have found a better place than Arlington Grove.
