The locally designed round structure of our building gives every room fantastic views of the countryside, or the landscaped central courtyard. The new building has 3 floors with separate care levels, enabling our residents to live their lives with others of similar needs and to have a continuity of care should their requirements change. Communal areas are extensive, and enable residents to have a choice of social contact, or a quiet area. Each floor has an activity room for residents who wish to participate in organised daily events. There is a hairdressing salon, staffed by professional hairdressers. Passenger lifts connect the floors and provide access to all levels. There are private areas for medical consultations, physiotherapy and chiropody. |
