Supporting you

We approach our support with a focus on maintaining dignity, by treating every person we support with compassion and respect.

Our person-centred support ensures we get to know each individual, understanding their needs, preferences, and identifying what is important to them.

Facilities

Our stunning eight-bedroom home is a great place to relax and feel comfortable in. Our bedrooms are spread across two floors, and two benefit from their own en-suite facilities, perfect for private personal care needs.

We also have shared communal areas, including a lounge and kitchen-diner – great for individuals to socialise with friends and family. Plus, there’s a large garden with a pond, ideal for those looking for a peaceful environment!
