The clean, comfortable and high quality accommodation has pleasant décor and provides all the amenities needed by 32 elderly people. The home has a family atmosphere due to the efforts made to ensure that the health and wellbeing of the residents always come first.
Staff & Services
The home is staffed by a dedicated, professional, caring and well-trained team of managers and care workers, and run with a determination to abide by all the latest rules and regulations.
