We provide furniture and you are also welcome to bring your own small items and personal belongings, we want you to really feel at home here.

Every room has its own TV and wi-fi is available throughout the home. We provide shared areas so you can get to know and enjoy life with your neighbours. These shared areas are open to all residents and guests. We also provide assisted bathing/shower facilities on each floor.

Nursing care

24-hour nursing care, tailored for individual needs. We provide round the clock specialist nursing care for those with medical needs, whether that’s a long-term illness or disability. Medical and other forms of specialist support are delivered with friendly expertise by our highly skilled team of nursing professionals.

As you’d expect from our wonderfully compassionate team, nursing care is wholly person-centred to meet the requirements of each individual with respect and dignity at all times.

Food and Drink

All the food we offer you is freshly prepared by our staff that is well trained to provide for any special diets or needs you may have. Three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and tea are served in the main dining room, but if you prefer to eat in your room this can also be accommodated.

Drinking enough fluids is very important for physical and mental health to help you stay alert, stable and able to take part in all the activities on offer, so we encourage drinks throughout the day.

The chef meets with the residents on a regular basis to ask for their views on the food and drink service. Morning and afternoon tea, coffee, biscuits and cake are served every day. Further drinks and light snacks are also available from the snack menus.
