24 Hour Dementia Care
Our 24/7 dementia specialists provide continuous care for residents with varying degrees of mental and physical frailty. Staff work closely with local GPs and healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive medical support while maintaining emotional wellbeing through personalised routines. The service accommodates both permanent residents and short-term stays, adapting to individual needs at any stage of dementia progression.
Personal Care Services
We offer tailored personal care including assistance with mobility, hygiene, and daily living activities. Our trained staff encourage independence while providing necessary support, helping residents maintain confidence through achievable tasks. Services integrate with external healthcare providers for specialist treatments like chiropody, dentistry, and hairdressing within the care home environment.
Palliative Care
In partnership with St. Christopher's hospice, we deliver compassionate palliative care focused on comfort and dignity. Our approach combines medical symptom management with emotional support for residents and families, maintaining familiar routines while adapting to changing needs. Staff provide sensitive end-of-life care within residents' preferred environment.
Laundry Services
On-site laundry facilities maintain residents' personal clothing and bedding to high hygiene standards. We handle individual laundry requirements while respecting personal preferences, though dry cleaning arrangements require external providers. The service supports residents' pride in personal appearance through careful garment care.

Flexible temporary care solutions support families needing relief from caregiving responsibilities. Our respite service maintains the same high care standards as permanent residency, allowing carers to take necessary breaks while ensuring continuity of dementia-specific support in a familiar setting.
