Get in touch

When it comes to everyday life, Edith Cavell makes it easy with a choice of spacious studio rooms, Village townhouses, and large Rest Home rooms, complete with WiFi and a nurse call system. There’s also an on-site Hospital to give you added peace of mind.

Part of the Sumner community since 1970 and extensively refurbished since then, Edith Cavell Lifecare & Village is set amongst landscaped gardens just a stroll from the friendly Sumner village and the sea. We also offer Respite, Convalescence and Palliative care.

We offer everything from a scooter bay to SKY TV, physiotherapy, podiatry, hairdressing and health checks. We have a range of recreational activities including indoor bowls, exercise classes, quizzes and social gatherings. Our facility van is always on hand for outings.
