Visiting

Continuing care:

Daytime visiting hours are unrestricted and visitors are welcome to call in at any time.

We do, however, secure the front door from 8pm, or earlier due to darkness in the winter, so please ring the bell if you arrive after this time.

Night time security of the building is important for both the residents and staff, with a security service providing night time checks.

Maternity:

Visitors are welcome, however, we usually request no visiting between 12noon-2pm and 5pm-6pm to allow for an undisturbed rest period.

The buildings are all one-level with ramps for ease of access for all.
