FAQs

    Most certainly – all our extra care housing schemes have a restaurant and are open to the public. Arrangements can also be made to visit at other times by contacting the manager directly.

  • Do you provide aids and adaptations?

    If you require additional facilities to assist you in being able to live independently, for example, a handrail in your bathroom, we can arrange the installation of fittings to suit you at any time.
