The home has been converted into an excellent care home, yet retains a lovely personality. We have a separate dining room and lounge where residents may socialise and entertain, or they may prefer the privacy of their own room. In addition we have a beautiful conversatory, opening onto a large garden terrace, which is greatly enjoyed all year round. We have regular garden events when the weather allows and we're very proud of the garden facilities. There are bathrooms on each floor, including a Parker Bath for those who are less independent. Our toilets have handrails while all rooms throughout have easy wheelchair access. |
