We work with a range of health professionals to offer the best care for our residents. We maintain close contacts with the Dementia Care Team, Outreach Team and Falls Prevention Team as well as Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, GPs and a range of other health professionals.

Residents are assigned a key worker during their stay, they will work closely with them to carry out an assessment of their needs. Our aim is to support our residents to work towards their goals and to help them maintain their independence.

We provide person centred support tailored to meet each resident's individual needs. Having this at the heart of our centre enables us to provide a diverse range of activities that cater to our residents varying and ever changing needs.

The team are committed to finding new and exciting ways to enable residents to lead full and active lives whilst supporting them to retain their independence.

We also offer a support group for families and carers and we work closely with outside agencies such as the Alzheimer's Society.
