There are
spacious recreational areas
including a sun lounge, activities lounge, a large function room
and an adjacent café called the CaSBAR,
which provides a full bar
facility as well as coffee, snacks, confectionery and novelty items
to purchase, and is a great spot for visitors to spend a while with

The
function room is available for hire for private functions, such as
wedding receptions, parties etc. at a modest charge and offers
dedicated overhead projection facilities with drop down screen,
multiple speakers and a hearing loop. We especially welcome
enquiries from associated organisations, including disability and

 Our fully networked and

disabled people. Under the supervision of our in-house IT
Project Supervisor, we provide a wide range of courses and
activities to enable our service users to make the most of this
facility.

an exercise programme under the guidance of the physiotherapy
team Equipment available includes a tilt table, an electric
standing frame, parallel bars with overhead hoist, a multi-gym, an
active-passive trainer, a virtual reality trainer and a
versitrainer. Service users are provided with an exercise programme
tailored to meet their individual need and those who are unable to
attend the gym will have their treatment programme carried out in
their room.
 We have a dedicated art
room for painting and pottery, and as well as organised sessions
offering instruction in painting techniques and from an experienced
potter, who also arranges firing of the work, the room is available
to use individually when the mood takes our artistic residents and
guests. There are individual and communal height adjustable
work stations with remote controlled lighting. The art
group regularly exhibits in house and at local venues.
Complete beginners are very welcome!
As well as
our in-house facilities, we regularly expand to locations outside
the home including visits to a nearby swimming pool if
wanted. We also encourage participation in outdoor carriage
driving, courtesy of Riding for the Disabled.
