Welcome to Bluebell Nursing Home! We are located close to the beautiful Southsea beach of Portsmouth. Our team of carers and NHS nurses have over 40 years of experience and support residents with a variety of complex health needs, including dementia and sensory impairments. We are open now to welcome your loved one.
Located just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Canoe Lake, Bluebell Nursing Home accommodates up to 49 residents at once. A well-established and friendly team of 75 staff supports the home.
Matthew Smith, a native of Portsmouth, leads the operations. The team creates care plans that suit each resident’s support needs, skills, aspirations, and safeguarding requirements. Throughout the year, we host events, themed nights, and activities to stimulate and engage our residents. Our chef prepares foods from across the world for these occasions.
The team specializes in creating personalized engagement and support for residents with Dementia. The home operates a unique Staff Champions Programme, which helps everyone in the team to give and receive advice, share expertise, and stay up to date in the field of specialized care.

Our facility is charming, convenient, and easily accessible by public transport. The home has a lounge and separate dining areas. The entire facility is adjusted for people with Dementia, with specific furniture and wall decorations. The locality perfectly suits those who enjoy a peaceful lifestyle. Our residents love the warmer seasons, when they can sit in the garden, in the crisp sea breeze, and listen to the birds in our outdoor aviary.
In short, Bluebell is your loved one’s new family home on the Southsea beach.
