About the Home for the Aged

The Homes consist of 10 houses:

• The Barn
• Bon Accord
• Bow Bells
• Kenilworth
• Lidcote

We have changed the model of our houses whereby we have appointed qualified home based carers who are on duty 24 hrs per day and who are in turn managed by professional nursing and catering staff. This allows for a more comprehensive care. More details on our new model to follow.
