| Our Building and Facilities |
|---|
|
The home itself is based in an attractive, four-storey Victorian/Edwardian building with a colourful past – having been a monastery, a refuge during WW2 and later C&C’s headquarters when it was extended in the 1960s. It’s nestled in a pleasant residential street at the corner of Kew Green, in the much sought-after area close to Kew Gardens in Richmond. It was first registered as a care home in 1978, and we strive to feel like home first, a care home second. |
