We also have ample parking for visitors at the front of the home.

We have visits from Pet Pals- who bring along all our furry friends (even a donkey!) and the visits from the local nursery children who like to see how we are getting on.
Weekly outings are also arranged during the spring and summer months, from visiting the beach for chips, to trips to the garden centre – we can help keep you active with your hobbies!
Our home offers three meals a day, and snacks throughout the day from our dedicated snack and tea/coffee station! Residents can choose from a variety of breakfast options, lunch is normally our main meal with choices on each day and the menu varying from day to day and then an evening meal. All our meals are served in our beautiful dining room but we can also cater for residents who wish to eat in their rooms.
Religious and spiritual beliefs will be respected by our staff. If there are any religious groups you wish to attend, we will do our best to make sure this is accommodated.

Everyone is welcome to visit their place of worship, we may be able to provide a chaperon at an extra cost to enable a member of staff to accompany you. This will depend on notice and availability.
