Care with a
spring in it’s step

We know it’s a big call to choose care for a loved one. Maybe their health has declined, or it’s simply not suitable for them to remain with you. There can be many different first steps to considering care. 

And we know that everybody is different, with unique requirements, needs and personalities. So it felt important that we build out the care we offer into 4 distinct areas.

Nursing Care

Nursing Care

Nursing care is for people with long-term conditions, medical or rehabilitative needs requiring 24-hour support.

Short-Term
& Respite care

We understand that you need a break sometimes. Our short-term stay care gives you just that knowing your loved one is in the best hands possible, round the clock.

Specialist <br src=Dementia Care" class="o-fit contain">

Specialist
Dementia Care

Residents usually come to live in one of our specialist dementia care homes because of a decline in memory or cognitive ability. As a result, they are no longer able to perform everyday activities and live independently.

Palliative Care

Palliative Care

We understand that caring for someone at the end of their life can be an emotional time. Our Palliative care takes a holistic approach, by focusing on the 'whole' person.

There’s lots
of love for

My mother was in 4wks respite, treated very well by staff, joined in on most activities. Enjoyed her meals during her stay. Her room was always clean & tidy. Gave the family peace of mind to know that she was looked after very well during her stay.

Aclice M

Wife of Resident

We, my family and myself, were delighted with the change in my husband within just a few days when a resident for respite care. He was more alert and we understand he participated in all of the activities available to the residents. All of the staff caring for my husband were so kind and looked after him so well. They made us very welcome when we visited. My husband was treated like a king by all of the staff. Thank you.

I H

Wife of Resident

No problems, the staff are all excellent. My husband is always clean and tidy even though he can be challenging at times they are very patient and caring. I am always kept up to date with any changes in medication and any problems I have get dealt with well. I’m confident he is getting well looked after which is the most important thing.

My mum has been a resident since 25th January. We (the family) and Mum have been very happy with all aspects of her care. Every member of staff has been so caring and helpful. Mum’s moving to a home to be closer to the family.
