Our studio, one and two-bedroom serviced apartments are ideal for those who would benefit from a little extra support in their day-to-day life. You'll have a home of your own, along with access to a range of flexible support options that can be tailored to suit your needs and preferences. From help with meals and housekeeping through to rest home-level care, support can be adjusted over time, allowing you to remain in familiar surroundings should your needs change.

Designed for those who need support but still value space and privacy, our Care Suites offer a premium care living experience. These bright, ground-floor studio suites include a private ensuite, kitchenette and direct access to the gardens, giving residents their own welcoming place to call home. Care Suites are supported by a caring team providing personalised rest home and hospital-level care, with resident wellbeing at the heart of everything they do.

Our care rooms offer a comfortable, welcoming place to call home, supported by a dedicated team providing rest home and hospital-level care. Each room includes a private ensuite and is located close to shared dining and lounge spaces, making it easy to enjoy both privacy and companionship. With personalised care available around the clock, residents can feel supported in a way that respects their individual needs, preferences and routines.
