Our personal nursing and medical services are provided within a warm, clean, attractive and homely environment. The Close provides respite, convalescent and continuing care to those who are physically frail or suffering from chronic illness.

Qualified nurses and are staff are on hand 24 hours a day to assist residents with personal and care related tasks. We ensure that all assistance is offered in an unobtrusive manner as we hold a great deal of importance on the privacy and dignity of our residents. Regular visits from our local General Practitioner, Chiropodist and Dentist further support the holistic approach and the well-being of our residents.

All of our staff undergo initial training on commencement of employment at The Close. This is further supported through ongoing training and development of all staff to ensure that the care delivered is up to date and comprehensive.

Providing a safe and stable environment is paramount to our philosophy of care. In order that we achieve this, we have the latest safety equipment, including baths with hoists and the Medi bathing system, nurse cal systems throughout the building to provide that added peace of mind and a lift to the first floor.

Our Philosophy of Care
To maintain a high standard of care, physically, spiritually, psychologically and socially on an individual basis.

To respect the privacy of residents providing congenial bed sitting rooms where they can be alone when they wish and where they can entertain guests as required.

To foster the independence of residents, encouraging them to take responsibility for choices and activities, and to keep as active as possible.

To acknowledge the rights of individual residents, the rights to have their own possessions around them, the rights of spiritual support regardless of race, creed or religion.

To promote a high standard of personal health, hygiene and sense of well being.

To create an atmosphere conducive to the residents' feelings of homeliness at all times in a relaxed way.
