Show more "Willowbrook, Bettws, is a high quality community housing and care service for older people which has been developed in partnership with Newport City Council. Care staff are available on site and provide personal care to those who have been assessed and meet Newport City Council's eligibility criteria. Within the community the accommodation meets the needs of varying levels of care and support. We are currently in discussion with Newport City Council about the posibility of develping a day care service at Willowbrook and look forward to the mutual benefit this will offer our live-in temamts and older people from across the local community.

For further information about this scheme or the services we offer to older people please contact Helen Jeffery, Service Manager, on 01633 857 168 or email helen.jeffery@linc-cymru.co.uk" Show less
