Types of care
Before anyone moves in, a nurse visits them at home or in hospital to assess what they need. That decides the type of care and the fee, and we put both in writing before you say yes.
Residential care
For people who need help with daily living: washing, dressing, meals and medication, with company and activities through the day. Personal care from a team on duty around the clock.
Suits someone finding home hard to manage, or lonely there.
Nursing care
Everything in residential care, plus registered nurses on every shift for conditions that need clinical care: wound care, catheters, PEG feeding, diabetes management, end-of-life care.
Suits someone with a health condition that needs a nurse, not just a carer.
Dementia care
A 12-bed household on the ground floor with its own lounge, kitchen and secure garden, staff trained in dementia care, and routines built around each person rather than the clock.
Suits someone living with dementia who needs a calmer, smaller setting.
Respite and short stays
From one week to a few months, for recovery after hospital, a carer’s holiday, or to try us before deciding. The same room, care and meals as a permanent resident.
Suits families who need a break, or a trial before moving in.
End-of-life care
We care for people to the end of their lives here, with the GP and the local hospice team, so nobody has to move at the hardest time. Families can stay overnight.
What we cannot do
We are not registered for people under 55, for mental health needs that require a secure setting, or for ventilator care. If we are not the right place we will say so and suggest who might be.
Not sure which is right?
Tell us about the person and we will tell you honestly what we think they need.
