We the owners, Christine and David Harrison originally started the care home for our parents as we could not find a home that met our exacting standards. Rather than an institution, we wanted a true home from home where our residents would feel at ease, able to ask for anything and always to be listened to. We cannot adequately describe Clifftop in words or pictures, it has a unique atmosphere that can only be experienced by a visit.

Clifftop is the only care home in Swanage with unrivalled views across Swanage Bay. Watching fishing boats, sailing boats , canoes, ships and occasionally paragliders, creates the perfect location for gentle retirement. Support is there, when required, and supplied by dedicated, caring and respectful staff, where a happy and homely ambience is created. We have a bubbly team of experienced, caring and dedicated staff who bring compassion to their work. The team enjoy sharing lots of ideas in order to gain the very best for everyone and provide high-quality person centred care.

Our friendly staff are committed to the latest ongoing training with a core group that have been working at the home for many years. New staff are recruited in order to continually develop the family team.

Our residents are at the heart of everything we do at Clifftop with each day being different. Many residents join Clifftop to enjoy our social ambience with like minded interesting folk to talk to. Past and present residents include doctors, writers, musicians, midwifes and even members of the royal household! Local doctors, mayors, and relatives, who want the best for their loved ones, choose Clifftop.

Regular activities include - Piano Man, music and movement, Mr Motivator, large scrabble board and quizzes. More varied options include discussion groups, sing-a-longs, film afternoons (with popcorn), art classes and flower arranging, theme days and visiting children from the local pre-school. We regularly have London based theatrical groups coming to perform in-house.

How about joining our newly formed choir? Or you can simply relax and enjoy the wonderful views over the famous Swanage Bay. Outings are also varied, these can include - The mystery tour, theatre, beach walks and shopping trips, as well as having any excuse for a good party!
