Welcome to
DRUMCONNER
At Drumconner, we believe in living well
—at every stage of life.
With two family-run care homes located in Lancing, West Sussex and Bournemouth, Dorset, we provide exceptional residential and nursing care in luxurious seaside settings.
Whether you're looking for short-term respite or long-term support, we offer personalised care with warmth, dignity, and respect at the heart of everything we do.
Your Care,
Rooted in RESPECT
We provide tailored care plans built around each individual. With over 40 years of experience, our skilled nurses and carers deliver 24-hour care with compassion, expertise and genuine kindness.
From complex nursing needs to supportive residential care, our high staff-to-resident ratio ensures safety, dignity and peace of mind for residents and their families.
Thoughtful Care for
Every Journey
Residential Care
Our residential care offers support for those who can live independently but would benefit from a little extra help day to day—whether that’s with personal care, meal times, taking medication, or getting dressed.
Many people choose to move into our care home not just for the support, but for the sense of community, companionship, and comfort it brings. With staff available 24 hours a day, there’s always someone on hand, giving both residents and their loved ones peace of mind.
Nursing Care
Alongside the highest standards of personal care, we offer expert nursing support delivered by fully qualified nurses and experienced staff—24 hours a day. Each resident receives tailored care based on detailed plans, with support for a wide range of clinical needs, from post-operative recovery to long-term or palliative care.
Rooms remain luxuriously comfortable, with specialist equipment in place to ensure the right care can be delivered safely and discreetly. We work closely with local healthcare professionals and trusted specialists to provide the right support at the right time—always with dignity, compassion, and respect for each resident’s independence and choices.
Respite Care
Respite care can be a valuable stepping stone—a chance to rest and recover in a warm, supportive setting, or to experience life in a care home before making any long-term decisions.
Whether it's for a few days or a few weeks, every guest receives the same high standard of personalised care and attention. A short stay can bring real relief—for both individuals and their families—offering time to recharge, regain strength, and enjoy peace of mind in safe, comfortable surroundings.
Palliative Care
Our palliative care is delivered with sensitivity, compassion, and respect—focusing on comfort, dignity, and emotional support for both residents and their loved ones. We take a holistic approach, managing pain and providing personalised care that honours each individual’s wishes.
Working closely with GPs and healthcare professionals, we ensure every resident receives the care they need and want as they approach the end of life, in a calm and supportive environment.
Life at DRUMCONNER
Lifestyle
Life at Drumconner is vibrant, varied and full of opportunities to stay active, social and engaged.
Our dedicated activities teams at both homes organise daily schedules tailored to residents’ interests—from arts and crafts to live music, day trips, gentle exercise, and much more.
Whether you’re looking to connect or simply relax, the choice is yours.
Wellbeing
We believe in holistic wellbeing. That’s why we offer in-house physiotherapy, massage and aromatherapy, alongside GP and specialist visits.
Our homes support rehabilitation, palliative care, and convalescence, with expert clinical oversight and a focus on comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
Family & Friends
Drumconner isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to belong.
Family and friends are always welcome. With a variety of inviting communal spaces and convenient access via major transport links, visiting your loved ones is easy and enjoyable.
We build strong relationships with residents' loved ones and ensure they’re involved in care planning and day-to-day life.
Design
Beautifully refurbished and thoughtfully designed, both homes offer elegant, spacious environments with premium finishes throughout.
Drumconner Lancing has recently undergone a full refurbishment, now offering 67 luxurious rooms—many with sea views, private patios and ensuite wet rooms. At
Drumconner Bournemouth, 35 stylish rooms are set in a peaceful, tree-lined location close to the coast.
Every room is ready to personalise and make your own.
Hospitality
Great care starts with great food.
Our professionally trained chefs create restaurant-quality meals every day, using fresh, seasonal ingredients from trusted local suppliers. Residents enjoy a choice of dishes at every mealtime, with full accommodation for personal preferences and dietary needs.
From private dinner parties to daily favourites, every meal is a moment to savour.
A Message from Our Managing Director
"At the heart of everything we do is a shared commitment to delivering high-quality care that enhances and sustains the quality of life for each of our residents. We strive to create a warm, welcoming environment where every individual feels truly at home, with the independence, companionship, safety and comfort they both desire and deserve.
Our goal is to support our residents in living life on their own terms, for as long as possible.
Of course, this wouldn’t be possible without our skilled, compassionate and highly trained team, who provide not only expert care for complex health and medical needs, but also vital emotional support. We treat every resident as an individual, with tailored, person-centred care plans, often developed in close partnership with families. We understand just how important it is to choose the right care home, and we’re here to make that journey as reassuring and positive as possible."

One of the most remarkable things I've noticed about Drumconner, is the real care factor from the staff and the extra mile the team go.
After a serious fall, my nan went from independent living with support from family. To needing full-time care, after a stint in the hospital, she was very frail upon arrival to Drumconner.
One of the most amazing things is that she's gone from being fully bed-bound to being able to get outside and even participate in a few activities. Considering how vigilant and independent my nan is, and struggles to ask for help. It's been lovely seeing her regain some of her mobility near the end of her life, and work with the team there. For the family, it's been wonderful to use the time we were committing to care, and instead, spending quality time making some last few memories.
Our family have been in constant communication with all the team there, as well as being supported as well. It's a beautiful nursing home with clean and excellent facilities/food/activities.
D C (Son of Bournemouth Resident) via carehome.co.uk
My father moved into Drumconner Bournemouth three years ago. From the onset, he has had exceptional outstanding care! As a former healthcare professional myself, I found it extremely difficult to find somewhere that would meet my father’s needs. He has complex communication issues and needs a lot of
support. Drumconner has been a fantastic place for us as a family and my dad's needs.
It has allowed us all to live our lives, knowing he is taken care of in such a wonderful way and the home can communicate with him just as I do. He and I are involved in all aspects of his care. Not only do they support my father, they support me as well which has been a godsend since my mother died. The home is run by a very supportive manager and senior nursing team. The food here is absolutely world-class with local meat coming from the butcher and cheeses coming from the local pantry in the village.
Thank you for such wonderful care and service.
C B (Daughter of Bournemouth Resident) via carehome.co.uk
Drumconner is an excellent care home. The building itself is more like a hotel, and the staff are brilliant.
With an excellent entertainment program and great food, it is a proper "home" for the residents. As a relative, we can be as involved as we like, and we are kept fully informed about our loved ones. The manager, nursing, care and admin staff are all fantastic and committed to continuous improvement. Having experienced other care homes, I am so glad that my step-mother is at Drumconner.
P R (Daughter of Lancing Resident) via carehome.co.uk
I have found all the staff to be really kind and helpful. They made my mother's first few weeks comfortable and helped her to settle into a new environment, especially after being so independent. They have taken great care with her health issues ensuring she received prompt attention from medical staff.
I cannot fault the kindness that has been shown to her.
