STAFF

Our trained and dedicated staff provides 24 hour care and support to help you maintain your chosen lifestyle. Adapting as your needs change. We pride ourselves on our low staff turnover; the longest serving member of staff has been in post for 17 years!

All staff who are employed are given induction training plus P.V.G  and reference checks.

FOOD AND NUTRITION

We pride ourselves on the quality of our catering and the range of choice available on a daily basis. Our chef will consult with you each day to ensure we understand your food preferences.

Our menu is devised by the chef with input from the residents; preferences are always taken into account which means old favourite, traditional meals feature alongside our monthly themed takeaway nights. Chef prepares meals daily from fresh, seasonal ingredients, including from our own plum and apple trees.
