Every effort has been made to ensure that residents can move freely around the Centre, which is all on ground-floor level with fully-accessible rooms, widened doorframes and large corridors. All bedrooms are wheelchair accessible and include fully profiling beds, en-suite wet rooms with tilting shower chairs, and stand aids and bed rails as needed.
