Residential Care
- Residential care is provided for people who can no longer live at home, even with the support from home care services.

Dementia Care
- Our staff are all trained to understand the difficulties people with dementia may experience and will support you in a safe environment that promotes your well-being.
- We strongly believe that people living with dementia can still lead an active life and it is so important to encourage all our residents with dementia to partake in our Activity Programme. Research suggests that by keeping the minds and bodies of residents with dementia as active as possible the advancement of dementia can be delayed.

Our Activity Programme is designed to encourage reminiscence and structured to include all residents with dementia.

- We offer assistance with any arrangements that may need to be made to help our residents and their families feel as comfortable as possible. This may include providing information about the physical signs and changes a person may experience during the final stages of life and advise relatives how to best support their family member. We work very closely with residents and their families to provide the right practical support throughout. Above all our staff team have been trained to be sensitive and understanding to the needs of the resident and their family at all times.
Respite Care
- Short stay breaks and respite care is available to allow families or carers to have a rest from taking care of a loved one.

- Short breaks are offered subject to availability.
