About Us
Our home is set in 22 acres of beautiful gardens and woodland. The main building is Georgian and was previously used by the charity Mencap as a home for people with learning difficulties. We acquired the building in December 2008 and have since completely updated it, but have striven to maintain some of the lovely original features where possible.
New features include a dedicated dementia unit with its own secure sensory garden, en-suites to all the bedrooms, and new central heating systems.
Other changes include the installation of two lifts, a medical room where residents can go if they feel unwell or can be seen by the dedicated doctor, a hairdresser, and a new kitchen and its appliances. We have a dedicated team of full-time gardeners that look after not only the plants and shrubbery but also our large vegetable/fruit garden - and for those residents who are keen gardeners, we have provided raised beds if they wish to participate. Not only is this a good way of getting outside in the fresh air but it is also great exercise!
We encourage the family and friends of our residents to drop by and visit as regularly as they can. They do not need to make an appointment, nor to telephone in advance.
High standard of care
Our staff are fully trained to provide professional and respectful care of a high standard. All residents are treated as individuals, and receive a personalised care plan which is identified and adapted to their specific needs. The identity and independence of the resident is upheld at all times and all staff are intrinsically trained to respect the individual’s rights, privacy and dignity.
