Manager's description

“Under the Trusteeship of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) the cottages are for those in need, of any religion or political opinion, providing this is not made a nuisance to others.
Cottage residents meet with those in the main care home building for lunch each day, and provisions are supplied for other meals, which may be prepared in their own cottage.
24hour care is provided with waking night staff, giving valuable peace of mind that someone is always there for you.
Couples are particularly benefited, as there will always be someone around for the other partner in the event of illness, or to relieve the burden of care.
There is a vibrant community spirit and activities to suit all tastes and abilities.
We aim to cater for residents' physical and spiritual needs and to enhance their quality of life....” show more
