Manager's notes:Bovemoor is an extra care scheme that promotes independence while giving care where it is needed. This provides a safe and secure environment while allowing tenants the freedom to make their own choices as long as they are able. We encourage individuality while supporting and promoting their ideas. The scheme manager will enable and assist the setting up of hobbies and activities of their choice. Bovemoor is in a rural setting, while having a good shopping centre, theatre, good medical facilities in close proximity. Bovemoor has 24 hour care provided by a team of dedicated & well trained staff.
