The Registered Manager and his close management team oversee the entire service. All staff will have received the appropriate induction and ongoing training for the aspects of care they deliver. Each floor has its own team with named dedicated leaders and a selection of champions (staff who receive extra training and have a degree of responsibility for certain care topics i.e. medicines, wound care, nutrition etc)

There are fully stocked, working kitchenettes on our first and 2nd floor and we provide a snoozelen room on our middle floor and have recently added a 'cafe' to our top floor
With an enclosed safe garden and local shops right on the door step this is the perfect setting for a modern, well presented care facility. It is fully staffed with nurses and carers and has a very high staff to resident ratio. We also plan to add a reminiscence room to our middle floor summer 2025 and we have recently partnered with the daily Sparkle to add a multitude of activity and occupational resources into the service such as reminiscence radio, daily reminiscence newspapers and hundreds of appropriate recordings, vidio's, films and guided relaxation videos
