St Dunstan’s Centre at Ovingdean
A visit to St Dunstan’s Centre at Ovingdean, Brighton is one of the first contacts many St Dunstaners and their families have with our organisation.
Here the visual impairment of each individual is assessed and their rehabilitation and training needs are determined accordingly. Visitors and residents can take advantage of extensive facilities, from an IT suite and a craft workshop to a gym, swimming pool and other sports and recreation facilities. Activities and training help develop the skills needed for independent living, as well as restoring and maintaining fitness and mobility.
Support, care and social activities
Many St Dunstaners visit Ovingdean for holidays or respite care and can benefit from a lively programme of social activities. While most of the 85 bedrooms house short stay visitors, some
St Dunstaners have a permanent home here and can take advantage of the support, comfort and security of a registered nursing and residential care home, registered by CQC.
Beautifully situated on the cliffs to the east of Brighton, Ovingdean is an airy and attractive listed building, in the art deco style. Purpose-built in 1938, it is thoughtfully designed with a consistent layout for each floor, easy corners, straight passageways and tactile floor coverings.
