Staff

Our team of well-trained and highly skilled female carers provides sensitive and friendly specialist dementia support to each of our residents.

Central to our approach to care is our respect for the dignity and privacy of our residents. In caring for them, we uphold the belief that every one of our residents should be encouraged to make their own choices in their daily life whenever they can, no matter what their level of health.
