About Us
Providing excellent personalised care for older people is the sole objective at Bernhard Baron Cottage Homes. For 80 years they have been providing care to singles as well as couples in the cottages and the main building. The homes are a charity and while care is provided on an individualised basis they provide a strong community with activities and support for spiritual needs.
Experienced and dedicated staff value and encourage independence and try to provide for all individual needs, including care, diets and activities. The home has two members of staff with special responsibility for helping with personal interests, activities and frequent outings. They are assisted by a team of volunteers and have a minibus and a car at their disposal.
The cottages consist of a sitting room, a bedroom, a shower room, and a small kitchen. The main building has en-suite bedrooms in addition to lounges, dining room and facilities such as hairdressing and laundry. Several of the bed-sitting rooms are particularly suitable for couples.
Bernhard Baron Cottage Homes provide three-course lunches with choices for each course. Breakfast and tea are served in the dining room or in residents’ rooms and friends and family are welcome to join everyone for a meal. The kitchen staff can cater to residents' needs and preferences.
The homes are set in five acres beautiful grounds with a path winding through the gardens as well as wooded areas designed especially for wheelchairs and for those who need walking aids.
