We’ll provide you with full details of the home, along with any other information you’d like, such as sample menus and activity schedules.

Whether you’re looking to stay with us permanently, or for a short break, we’d be delighted to take you on a show round of the home in person, subject to meeting COVID-19 safety guidelines. Simply book a tour with the home manager once you’ve made your enquiry.

We can also provide a virtual show round if you’d prefer. Either way, we’re keen to show you what daily life is like here and for you to meet our friendly team. You can also see for yourself how we keep residents safe.

We hope you decide that following your visit that you or your loved one would like to move into the home, in which case we’ll organise an assessment to make sure we can meet all your care needs.

We understand how important visits are for everyone and we follow government guidelines in welcoming regular visits from family and friends. We also actively support our residents to have visits away from the care home, and make sure this is always in line with any government COVID-19 guidance.

As each of our homes are different, the home manager will provide all the information you need around visiting.
