They're here when you and your loved ones need them most. For planned respite or last-minute trips. A safe space to recover after an operation. To experience what the home's like before moving long-term. To just relax. Whatever the reason, their doors are open. Advanced bookings available.
The home offers bright and homely interiors with ensuite bedrooms. Large landscaped gardens, a bright sun loggia and a furnished patio area that provide the ideal setting to relax. Equipped with a 24-hour call system, the highly trained staff and experienced staff are always on hand to provide professional care and support.
Residents can enjoy views of the garden during mealtimes in the dining room. The chef manager ensures that all residents' nutritional needs are met with appetising meals created by the home's dedicated chef.
Whether residents wish to continue pursuing a favourite hobby or would like to take part in a new pastime, the activities staff work hard to ensure their needs are met. Activities such as exercise classes and games are regularly organised, and a mobile library and entertainers are often on the events calendar.
