Gorseway Park Retirement Village
Discover bespoke care and nursing support from a highly trained care team in our specialist retirement village.
Our Hayling Island retirement village is set within four acres of beautiful parkland. Gorseway Park has three types of high-quality care available for people who are at different stages in their life.
Our independent apartments have care workers on-site for residents if and when they need support. In contrast, our residential and nursing home has 24-hour a day carers and nurses readily available for support.
Gorseway Park boasts excellent transport links and the perfect combination of a rural setting, all while being 20 minutes from Portsmouth Harbour. We are close to a variety of shops, a doctor’s surgery, coffee shops and great local heritage sights for our weekly trips out. We even have the benefit of having our own minibus which is always being used to take our residents the places they want to go.
Social activities
We place great emphasis on social activities and maintaining the type of life you have had at home, whether that is a quiet and relaxed lifestyle or an active lifestyle.
We have our own minibus and make the most of it! We take our residents for local days out including shopping trips, picnics or simply just to admire our beautiful island coastline.
We have an iconic ballroom that has been restored to its former glory. We love to hold group activities in this room and occasionally dancing the night away!
We love trips out to the historic city of Portsmouth. Portsmouth harbour naval base is a popular choice amongst our residents for trips out, followed by a scrumptious pub lunch.
Dining
At Gorseway Park Retirement Village you will be served freshly prepared home cooked meals by our team of expert chefs. They ensure all our meals are healthy, nutritionally balanced and, most importantly, locally sourced wherever possible. Meals are served in one of our superb dining rooms, but you also have the option for food to be served in your room for a more private dining experience.
Nutrition is an important part of the care we provide. That’s why our catering team take time to get to know your likes and dislikes before putting together a vibrant and varied menu for you to choose from.
Bedrooms
Our care home has 32 en-suite bedrooms, some of which can accommodate couples. Plus, we offer five luxury suites which have lounge areas, bedroom and bathroom. Our nursing home has 54 single en-suite bedrooms across the ground floor and the first floor, with some able to accommodate couples. Our first floor is fully accessible, by stairs or a lift.
Gardens
We’re very proud of our lovely four acres of landscaped gardens. Our lake is beautiful, with a stunning water feature and Koi carp.
There are lawned areas and a patio overlooking the beach where you can join in outdoor activities or simply enjoy being outside.

This is the first home Mum has gone into. My first contact regarding my worries about Mum was with the Deputy Manager. Instantly I became less worried. She put my mind at rest on so many issues and questions I had. I found her to be very competent with her knowledge and skills showing a great deal of experience she has. The Deputy Manager always had time for my questions and was extremely efficient with feedback. Having this kind of approachable personality wanting to put my and my family’s mind at rest. Also, the carers are well-mannered and respectable with the residents.

Mum was a resident of Rochester Care Home for nearly 6 years. I cannot thank the manager and her wonderful team enough for all they did for her while she was there. She could not have been in a better place for the last years of her life. As a family, we have got to know the staff as dear friends who have always greeted us with a cheery smile and ‘gone that extra mile’ for all involved. Mum spent the last two weeks of her life receiving palliative care. She was treated with dignity and compassion. My family have felt very supported by the manager and her staff during this difficult time for which we are truly thankful. We cannot praise Rochester Care Home enough for the work they do.

As soon as I stepped inside the Nursing Home I sensed a friendly caring atmosphere, and I knew that my husband would be well looked after and in safe hands. The staff could not be more professional and helpful to both my husband and myself and nothing too much bother for them. Every resident has their own room and is encouraged to bring personal belongings to make it their home. I can relax knowing that my husband is being cared for 24/7.

My family member lived at the care home for a number of years, and I honestly don’t know what we would have done, as a family, without them. They were so supportive of our family as well as providing above and beyond care to my family member. I will always recommend this wonderful home to anyone!

My grandad has been a resident for three weeks and the positive change in his mental health and wellbeing has been exponential. He feels safe and cared for and I am secure in the fact he is receiving quality care. The staff have been supportive and what could have been a stressful transition has in fact been surprisingly easy. I am grateful to all staff and residents who have made this more a pleasure for my grandad.

My mum has been a resident for the last 2 and a bit years and during that time I have seen a huge improvement in her overall physical health. She has actually put weight on as she is getting 3 good meals a day unlike when she was living on her own, and she excepts help now when there’s a medical issue and let’s the staff get her the help that is needed medically. Before she went in she would refuse any intervention. The accommodation is very nice, the rooms are adequate for her needs, the garden area is very nice, and she has made friends. The staff are always professional and caring and residents are treated with the utmost dignity, the food is good, and plenty of it. A massive thank you to ALL the staff.

If you don’t want a financial assessment you can choose to pay for your care home yourself – this is called self-funding.
