Our Charitable Aims:

- there are funded beds in our Nursing Home for those who cannot afford the full cost of care;
- there is transport for those in the community who otherwise could not travel to our Day Centre;
- we can provide support to those wishing to stay in their own with our Home Care services,
- we can continue our ongoing improvements to the home for the benefit of all users and to ensure the home’s ongoing sustainability.
