About Nightingale Hammerson
Nightingale Hammerson is an independent charity which has been serving the community for over 170 years.

The activities programme is constantly being adapted to ensure it is appropriate to the needs and choices of our residents. As well as organised activities, staff and volunteers are encouraged to engage with residents on an individual basis as much as possible whether supporting at meal times, assisting with I.T. or taking residents out into the garden.
