Our facility is proud to offer a newly refurbished room that provides residents with a comfortable and homely atmosphere. Our spacious bedrooms include an ensuite bathroom and are designed to provide a relaxing and stress-free environment.

Our primary objective is to promote and support the highest level of independence for each resident with dignity, privacy, and respect. We believe in providing holistic care in a homelike environment that ensures comfort, dignity, and freedom.
At our facility, residents can enjoy lush gardens and indoor activity rooms for intimate gatherings. We offer a lively activity programme that caters to all residents, and our passionate staff members ensure that our residents enjoy their favourite pastimes. We cook fresh meals on-site, and our menus are tailored to meet the dietary requirements of our residents. We encourage families to get involved in the activities, and we believe that eating is a wonderful social event that promotes good health.
