Whether someone is staying with us for rehabilitation, long-term care or support with a complex condition, having time with loved ones makes a real difference. That’s why we’ve created welcoming, comfortable spaces throughout our home where visits can happen naturally, whether it’s a quiet chat over a cup of tea or celebrating a special occasion together.
We offer a range of relaxed, informal spaces where residents can spend time with their family and friends. From our cosy Coffee Corner lounge to peaceful outdoor areas, there are plenty of spots for shared moments, whether that’s reading together, enjoying a snack, or simply having a chat. We know that visits aren’t just about catching up; they’re about reassurance, support, and keeping relationships strong.
Our home is open and flexible with visiting times, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate what works for each family. We also welcome involvement from loved ones in events, mealtimes, and care planning discussions where appropriate. Whether someone is popping in for a short visit or spending a few hours together, we aim to make every moment feel calm, unrushed and personal.
For many residents, especially those living with neurological conditions or recovering from brain injury, regular visits from family provide a vital emotional anchor. Familiar faces, voices, and routines can support memory, motivation, and emotional wellbeing, all of which are important parts of both recovery and long-term care.
We also use digital tools where needed, helping residents stay in touch with relatives who live far away or have difficulty visiting in person. However you choose to stay connected, we’re here to support you.
No – we offer flexible visiting, and families are welcome throughout the day. We just ask that visits are respectful of other residents’ routines, especially during mealtimes or care activities.
Children are always welcome. We encourage family visits of all generations, and there are activities and spaces suitable for younger visitors too, including community sessions with local children’s groups.
Yes, we have a variety of quiet areas including lounges and outdoor spaces where residents can spend time with loved ones privately and comfortably. Visits can also take place in residents’ rooms if preferred.
