We provide Residential and Nursing Care for the elderly, specifically tailored to individual needs.
The home provides comfortable, bright and spacious accommodation set on two floors and served with a passenger lift enabling wheel chairs to be easily used all around the home. On the ground floor we have three communal rooms where a wide range of activities are carried out. Residents are encouraged to spend their days socializing and partaking to the events.
We have regular activities in the lounges, planned outings and musical entertainment. The gardens offer the unique opportunity for a stroll outside in the warm and sunny days and the summer house is a perfect spot for a quiet cup of tea.
