Our home, your home

We provide a kind and considerate home for our residents, based on the privileges and responsibilities of family life; of living in harmony, of caring and being cared for. We warmly encourage the familiarity of residents’ own personal items of furniture and belongings

The home is served by several local GP surgeries. Residents may keep their existing doctor or transfer to one nearer the home

Visiting services include dentists, community nurses, social workers, physiotherapists, chiropodists, and other health professionals 

We can accompany you to church and have a visiting church service once a month. Ministers may visit as requested

We have visiting local, skilled and experienced providers of hair-dressing, nail painting, facials and hand massage. They make a separate charge for their services
