Bedrooms
All our bedrooms are individual with en suite facilities and most have garden views.

Although furnished, we encourage a limited amount of furniture such as a favourite armchair, chest of drawers etc also more personal items such as photographs, pictures and ornaments help new residents to feel at home more quickly.

Each room has a nurse call system so that assistance can be summoned easily throughout the day or night.

There is TV point in each bedroom and residents and relatives are at liberty to arrange with British Telecom a telephone installation.

Residents and their visitors are request to inform us of any electrical items they bring into the home for personal use as we are required to have them tested.
