The home has been designed with two friendly and comfortable households. created to enhance the quality of life of our residents. Everything we do has the wellbeing and comfort of our residents in mind, to support them to live the lives they choose.
Our beautiful garden offers something for everyone, from those who love to grow vegetables or flowers to those who prefer to sit and take in the sunshine and appreciate the scents and colours.
Choice is important to us, from the food we serve to the activities we provide. Residents are encouraged to join in with the daily social activities taking place in the central communal areas, though there are plenty of options available for quieter activities if they prefer.
Our cinema room shows daily films on the big screen, and we have a private dining room available for residents to host their own get-togethers with family and friends. Our own hairdressing salon is open during the week.
We have lounges on the ground and first floors, which become our social hubs during the day, whether that’s chatting over coffee with friends, catching up with visitors, or taking part in an activity. We have quieter spaces around the home too, and each resident’s bedroom is their personal space.
We encourage everyone to make their room their own by bringing in their favourite items that make it personal to them. Each bedroom has an ensuite shower room, and a 24 hour emergency call system.

Seasonal produce is chosen whenever possible and of course, relatives and friends are always welcome to join us. The menus change daily, and the kettle is always on. Our chef bakes every day so there is always a fresh cake to enjoy.
