It offers modern amenities with en-suite facilities in all bedrooms, onsite kitchen with all meals cooked from scratch and beautiful communal rooms for activities and meals. The Nuns set up the original care home over 30 years ago in part of their convent and have continued to offer care and respite to residents from all walks of life including many local people as well as priests and nuns. The home has a catholic ethos and has its own chapel and priest; however, residents from all faiths or none are welcomed to the home.
