There are five households within the home which have been purpose designed to promote the independence, safety and well-being of people living with dementia, applying the latest innovation and research in dementia care, yet still feeling homely and welcoming. Residents have a choice of lounge and dining areas as well as some quiet sitting areas to relax, dine and socialise, including a cinema and tea room. There is also a hair dressing salon which is very poplar with all our residents. The home has a lovely, fully accessible garden which residents love to sit and enjoy outdoor activities. All the bedrooms have en-suite facilities and are designed to a high. We encourage residents to bring personal items from home to make it feel even more homely.

Mealtimes are an important social event for our residents to look forward to everyday, and this begins with an appetising offering. We have a partnership with Apetito whose chefs and nutritionist who pride themselves in catering for specific requirements and nutritional needs, without compromising on the delight of a delicious meal.
