We can provide furniture, but you might like to bring your favourite chair, side table and bedspread.

We use laptops and tablets for medication and progress notes, so our nursing staff know what you need and when you need it. Regular assessments of care are completed at least twice a year, and more often as your care needs change.
All medication, including over-the-counter drugs, are managed by our nursing team and overseen by our contracted GP or nurse practitioner. These nurses arrange prescriptions and organise medication with our contracted pharmacies.
