Home / Care
Fir Tree House provides residential, nursing, dementia, palliative and respite care for up to 30 residents — 24 hours a day, in a genuinely homely atmosphere.
01 — Residential care
Support that helps residents maintain their independence while assistance is quietly available whenever it's needed. Residents are encouraged towards self-care wherever possible, and keep the choice of diet, clothes and activities firmly in their own hands.
About residential care02 — Nursing care
Twenty-four-hour nursing and personal support in a home that still looks, sounds and feels like a home. Every room is fitted with an emergency call point, and care is shaped around each person's needs and routines.
About nursing care03 — Dementia care
A comfortable and familiar environment centred around safety, dignity and individuality. Every bedroom at Fir Tree House is dementia-friendly in design, and days are built around what remains familiar and loved.
About dementia care04 — Palliative care
Palliative care at Fir Tree House means nursing and personal support focused on comfort and dignity, in familiar surroundings, with family welcome and close. Our team works alongside each resident's GP and community health professionals, and shapes support around the person's own wishes.
Talk to us about palliative care05 — Respite care
A short stay at Fir Tree House — after a hospital stay, to give a family carer a break, or to try living here first. Respite residents have the same room, care, meals and days as everyone else. Availability depends on rooms at the time, so please call to ask.

This isn't a medical or diagnostic tool, and it never decides anything about care. The right level of support is always worked out in person, with you, your family and — where appropriate — the professionals involved in your care.
