You can bring your own furniture to furnish your room, such as a favourite armchair or their own bed. Some of our residents bring their own curtains which makes the room theirs and more homely. All rooms are bright and spacious with en suite bathroom and we have free wifi throughout the home.

Meal times are a special part of the day for you to savour tasty food, freshly cooked by our chef to suit you and any dietary needs. And, of course refreshments are available throughout the day for you and your visitors, who are welcome at any time. At the same time, there is no reason why you can’t maintain links with the local community, or develop new friendships and relationships. Care staff will help you do that, while also working hard to create a home that is itself full of opportunity and possibility.

The TV room and conservatory both create the perfect opportunity for our residents to unwind.
We ensure effective liaison with all appropriate agencies involved in a service user’s care. This may include GPs, physiotherapists, dieticians, chiropodists, mental healthcare professionals, spiritual leaders, social workers etc. We place great emphasis on the importance of our residents’ independence, dignity and privacy, whilst continually providing care and support of the highest quality in a warm and homely environment.
Let us know if it’s music, a favourite newspaper, exercise or a spot of pampering at the salon. Landscaped gardens invite you to appreciate the fresh air, or tend the plants, if you wish. We have recently been able to open EAC Advice, a new 'housing options' advice service for older people.
– the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve. One of our principal values is to treat each of our valued residents as an individual, responding to their unique needs.
