The most important thing is for everyone to feel comfortable, happy and settled.

All our bedrooms have a full en suite wet room with toilet and sink. Some rooms also enjoy lovely garden views.

Residents enjoy music therapy and reminiscence activities, including doll therapy, designed to stimulate social interaction and alleviate the feeling of isolation associated with dementia.
