Introduction

Steephill

Steephill has a rich history, being built originally as accommodation for nurses working at the Royal National Hospital for Diseases of the Chest in Ventnor. The historical link between the two sites is maintained to this day, as part of the tunnel under the road between the two buildings, which enabled the nurses to walk safely to and from work, is still in place.

It is located in Ventnor, which is known for its mild climate, making it a popular seaside resort, and the home enjoys stunning views of the coastline.

We offer an exceptional standard of 24-hour care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
