Here there is a wide range of social amenities within proximity, including theatres, restaurants, and shops.
We provide 24 hour, 7 days a week nursing and GP care with access to other healthcare professionals as appropriate. This includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy dieticians, tissue viability nurses.

Activities Programme
An extensive list of social care activities is developed in conjunction with our residents at their monthly meetings. These activities assist our residents mentally and physically as well as bringing them joy. Residents remain very much part of the community and local schools, students and volunteers are frequent visitors.
Activities include live music, exercise classes, gardening, arts and crafts, baking, seasonal celebrations, religious ceremonies, quizzes, bingo, reminiscence therapies. Our Hands of SignaCare programme has been a great success.
Residents are also encouraged to continue with community based activities that they have been involved with such as those with local societies, choirs, men’s shed or day care centres.
