The aim of Rose cottage is to provide the nearest possible environment to the residents’ own home with the built in security of being cared for.
Due to the nature and size of the home we can provide one to one stimulus and attention, with choice being the key word.
Our residents are able to make decisions for themselves and are encouraged to do so whether it is choice of meal or where they want to sit. We also encourage an amiable atmosphere for the resident’s families, and friends are welcome, being part of one happy group talking to residents when they visit.
We are very flexible and therefore we can reflect the needs of the residents and staff at Rose cottage due to the size of the home. We also aim to improve the residents and generally make sure they are in an environment that they are happy with.
