The Peninsula, owned by Dunluce Healthcare, has ranked as one of Northern Ireland’s Top 20 Care Homes within the first year of its opening, achieving an impressive score of 9.7 out of 10.

Located in Newtownards, The Peninsula became one of the fastest-filled new care homes in the UK due to its hotel-style accommodation, luxurious facilities, and exceptional person-centred care.

The Top 20 Care Homes list, which is compiled annually by carehome.co.uk, is based on published reviews from residents and their family and friends.

Ryan Smith, Chief Executive at Dunluce Healthcare, commented:

“As the newest addition to Dunluce Healthcare, The Peninsula was built to set a benchmark in care home design and quality.

“To receive this recognition in its very first year of operation is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the dedication of the entire team, who have created a comfortable, safe, and fulfilling environment for our residents.”

Purpose built in 2024, The Peninsula’s exceptional facilities include ensuite bedrooms, landscaped gardens, wellbeing and salon services, and private rooms for socialising.

Ashley Robinson, Residential Manager at The Peninsula, added:

“We are incredibly proud to be recognised as one of the Top 20 Care Homes in Northern Ireland.

“From the beginning, our commitment has been to high-quality care for our residents, placing their well-being and happiness at the heart of everything we do.

“This recognition is particularly meaningful as it’s based on the feedback from residents and their families, who benefit from the care and support we provide every day.

“We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to share their experiences and leave a review.”
