A beautifully converted 19th century Quinta is the base for a modern, professional English Nursing Home in the Algarve. Monte da Palhagueira offers 24-hour care from a team of qualified, English speaking nurses and carers.
The 16 rooms on two floors each have their own individual character and make you feel at home. Many have patios or balconies overlooking the beautiful landscaped gardens. All rooms have generous ensuite bathrooms.
The home provides assisted living, nursing, respite, convalescent and end-of-life care. It offers a residents’ dining room, public relaxation spaces, physiotherapy unit, hairdressing service/beauty salon, and secluded swimming pool.
The Nursing Home is open to both residents and non-residents of Monte da Palhagueira. The Village Residents have the advantage of a tailored Village Care Service.
Our exceptional nursing care staff treat all our residents with respect, dignity and friendship in a warm family atmosphere. We offer holistic person-centred care for the best quality of life possible.
Our team works closely with you and your loved ones to tailor each care package to your specific wishes and requirements. They make sure the level of care is exactly right and comfortable for you at the same time.
Monte da Palhagueira is an officially registered Nursing Home in Portugal and follows the directives issued by the Portuguese Direcção-Geral de Saúde. The Nurses are registered Nurses with registration in Portugal. One of the directors, Dr. Rosemary Reid, is a medical doctor overseeing the quality and ongoing development of the medical policies of the Amesbury Abbey Group.
All our residents enjoy three delicious meals each day, either in one of two dining rooms, on the poolside terrace, or in their own rooms.
Social events play a key role, with activities organised throughout the week and a minibus on hand for making excursions to local sights and attractions.
Doctors and registered physiotherapists visit residents regularly to discuss our residents’ ongoing care needs. There is a hairdressing studio on site and we can arrange pedicurists and art therapists.
Residents can choose between three different categories of rooms. All are comfortable and well appointed and feature an en suite bathroom with room sizes ranging from 25 to 45 square meters. Rooms come furnished by us but equally you are welcome to bring your own furniture if you like and feel directly at home.
Premium rooms offer direct access to the garden terrace, a balcony or particularly good vistas.
Lunch and supper can be delivered to residents’ rooms or served in the central dining room with its large balcony and views across the valley, or the very comfortable dining area at the pool, as residents prefer.
We offer a separate apartment for visiting relatives for a reasonable fee (depending on availability). In combination with the outstanding Restaurant on our site and the different community rooms in the Nursing Home there are plenty of options for successful family events. Visiting Relatives are welcome to use one of our pools or walk in our gardens so there are lots of options to entertain them when they visit you.
