About

Nestled in the heart of the historic town of Kendal, on the fringes of the breathtaking English Lake District, you'll find Heron Hill - a bespoke care home designed to provide top-notch nursing, dementia, palliative, and respite care. This Abbey Healthcare establishment presents a variety of living arrangements, from private rooms to companion suites, all set within a luxurious and contemporary environment.

At Heron Hill, we believe in the importance of self-care and social interaction. That's why we've included a hair and beauty salon for those days when a little pampering is in order, an in-house cinema for movie nights, and a friendly bar to share a drink and a chat with loved ones.

With superb connections to road, rail, and bus routes to the broader Cumbria region, Heron Hill ensures that you have everything you need to feel completely at home.
