We have 31-beds comprising three en-suite rooms, five rooms with private toilets and wash areas, and 22 rooms with access to shared bathrooms. We also have one self-contained apartment, accessible via steps and ideal for someone who requires clinical care but can live with more independence.
All our communal bathrooms include ceiling tracking hoists, and we have a spa Jacuzzi bath for additional physical support – or simply for enjoying a relaxing bath.
Specially designed to empower independence while supporting additional and extended needs, our home also has a training kitchen. This is the ideal setting for practicing daily living skills and accessing social clubs – like our baking meets and breakfast clubs.
