Care is broadly divided into three types:

• Nursing –people who are recovering from an injury or hospitalisation, or have a long-term condition can benefit from our nursing care. We have registered nurses on site 24 hours a day for any assistance.
• Residential - for those who value their independence, but need some help with some day-to-day activities, such as dressing, bathing or taking medication. Exactly how much care is needed will depend on the unique needs of each individual.
• Dementia - It’s the same high quality, individualised care that you’ll find in our assisted living neighbourhoods of our care homes – but with a specialised focus on caring for residents living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.

If you are still unsure as to what type of care you need, speak with one our friendly staff on 01202 629476. Alternatively, here is a link to a great resource that can give you further guidance, click here.
