The activity programme is organised by the Activities Co-ordinator. Activities and outings, and transport to Church or appointments can also be arranged. We will transport on these visits if residents do not have their own family to assist. Open visiting. There are no set times for visiting, however we would appreciate visitors avoiding mealtimes in consideration of all residents. If residents need any shopping or mail posted we can do this for them. We also have local papers delivered. If residents require any other papers or magazines, we can order these for them too.
