OUR RESIDENTIAL CARE
Not everyone needs round the clock care, but many could benefit from a little extra support from time to time.
We encourage residents to live as independently as possible, with the reassurance that we are here when they need us. We empower our residents to live life the way they want to, with care on-hand when needed.
Compassionate, understanding, well-trained carers are on hand 24 hours a day to meet your care needs. Whether it’s help washing and dressing, making a snack, managing medication and appointments, or even just some company.
Friends and family are always welcome and form a crucial part in creating a home from home atmosphere. We liaise closely with other professionals such as GP’s, physiotherapists, dieticians etc to provide a tailored package of care to enhance the quality of life of each resident.
