The home is equipped with fire alarms and nurse call systems which are both serviced quarterly. All staff receive regular fire training and the ramps on both sides of the home make it fully accessible for wheel chair users.
General Practitioner
Residents are encouraged to keep their own GP. If not they can be registered with our own group local GPs.
Laundry
The home operates its own “in-house” laundry and is happy to provide this service to all Residents. All items of clothing must be marked clearly with the Resident’s name. Unfortunately, the home cannot accept any responsibility for specialist cleaning.
