We currently operate six residential care homes for older people, offering 251 beds in total catering to older people with a physical frailty and with mental health problems. The homes are the legacy of the late 1960's and early 1970's and are coming to the end of their life cycle.
We have provided links to documents which give more background details about current services, the case for change, the new services and further relevant information, including artist impressions of the 4 new buildings.
