From music and crafts to gentle exercise and social events, these tailored programs spark joy and connection for all 35 residents.​

Community
Encouraging Participation
We put our residents at the heart of our community.
Regular resident's meetings are held to ensure that their views and ideas are listened to and that any concerns can be raised and discussed.
Family and friends are invited to attend these meetings if they wish.
​
We actively encourage participation as it maintains interaction, high spirits and an active social life.
We take into consideration the individual interests and personalities of every resident, and aim to organise activities that everyone will enjoy.
