Reviews
Given the current COVID-19 environment we have temporarily disabled our ‘feedback’ feature. We apologise for any inconvenience.
It’s never easy when someone in your family has dementia and caring for them inevitably becomes a full time job.
Our specialist Dementia Unit is designed to stimulate their minds and help them live with dignity in a safe, caring environment.
The open plan lounge and dining room has a lovely home like feeling which opens onto a secure outdoor dining area and garden. This allows our residents the freedom to enjoy being outdoors when the mood suits without the risk of them wandering off.
