Accommodation
The home is bright, airy and well-lit, with gas fires warming the lounges in winter.
The main building is divided into two separate homes of 15 and 17 rooms, in keeping with our Small Homes philosophy of care.
Each home is self-contained, with a central living area and a bedroom wing with wide, well-lit corridors.
Each of our small homes has its own homely open-plan kitchen, safe for residents yet fully working. This is where residents assist our DT staff in familiar activities like making sandwiches or baking scones for afternoon tea, or help the caregiving staff wipe down the benchtops or load the diskwasher. The open plan living areas are much like those of an ordinary family home, and the scent of fresh baking often greets visitors on arrival.
All residents have single rooms, some with en suite toilets and hand basins. People are encouraged to bring personal items with them such as pictures, furniture, and special ornaments to enable them to feel comfortable and at home.
The gardens are delightful, with majestic trees providing shady spots to sit, lush green lawns and flowers for all seasons.
