Social interaction, camaraderie, and helping residents pursue their interests and hobbies play a big part in day-to-day life here. 

At our home, life is full of opportunities to connect, create and enjoy. Our dedicated Activities Co-ordinator ensures there is always something exciting on the calendar, from summer fêtes, evening concerts and live music, to art classes, themed dinners and cinema nights. Our activity room also offers a welcoming space for arts, crafts and creative expression.

Music plays a big part in our home life, with twice-weekly choir sessions that bring everyone together in song, and special performances from an opera singer that are always a highlight for residents.

To support health and wellbeing, we provide yoga therapy sessions, regular trips out into the community, and events in partnership with the local Royal British Legion branch. For those who prefer a more personal touch, we offer 1:1 sessions so that everyone can enjoy meaningful engagement, tailored to their needs.

Residents also love our popular garden club, fun seasonal events, daily dog therapy sessions and regular visits from friendly petting zoos. A professional hairdresser and physiotherapist visit twice weekly, and our very own in-house shop stocks a variety of favourite items, ensuring residents who are unable to access the community can still enjoy the things they love.

We provide short and long-term care for serving personnel, veterans, and their dependants. 

We are proud to have a warm and inclusive community of men and women of varied ages and abilities. Our care is dedicated to supporting not only serving and ex-serving personnel, but the wider Armed Forces family, including dependants and carers. This extends to anyone who has previously served and received at least one day of pay from the Armed Forces, aged 16 or over at the time of service.
