Staff are on hand 24 hours per day, 365 days a year, delivering individual support packages to assist with personal care, providing nutritious meals, help with shopping and accessing the local community.
The residents have their own bedrooms with en-suite facilities and each room is furnished and decorated the way they choose, with personal possessions and technology.
Relatives are actively involved in the care of their family member and formal arrangements are in place to make sure that relatives can be also involved in decisions relating to care.
