Our high staff to resident ratio and our culture makes Armourdene different.
We are small (28 beds) with highly personalised programmes. We encourage all residents to be active and to treat Armourdene as if it were their own home. We encourage acceptance of our settlement package - talk to us about a free introductory stay. Armourdene - "your home away from home". |
