There are weekly days out, shopping trips and regular visits from musicians. Residents who enjoy gardening can continue their hobby in our greenhouse or by tending to our raised flowerbeds.
Those who are not able to join the regular shopping trips can make use of a weekly mobile shop and library. A hairdresser also visits our home every week.

This includes serving personnel, or those who have previously served, who have received one day of pay.

If you plan to move into our care home immediately or within the next three months, you will need to complete an application form. Once your application has been received, a needs assessment will take place to help us assess your care needs. This may take place at home or we can also visit you in hospital, providing an opportunity for you to ask any further questions. Your application is dependant upon confirmation of eligibility and the outcome of your care needs assessment. If successful, we will confirm in writing and arrange the next steps, including your arrival date with you.
In some circumstances, we are also able to provide support for those under the age of 65 years seeking care or rehabilitation support. However, we recommend contacting your chosen care home for further information.
