Our Vacancy
We currently have one vacancy at The Cedars on the ground floor. This room is spacious and comes with a bed, wardrobe and bedside table. It also has easy access to a communal bathroom. The vacant room has just had a new
double-glazing window installed and new laminate floor fitted. It is freshly decorated in neutral colours, but we encourage our residents to personalise their rooms to suit their tastes.
The Cedars would suit somebody who enjoys being part of a busy and happy home where there is always something going on. Our current residents are aged between 19-60 and enjoy going out on group activities, holidays, shopping trips and leisure activities.
