external trips but families are both welcome and encouraged to accompany
their relatives. All of these activities are provided at no charge except for
theatre tickets and similar.
In addition to normal care procedures, we
offer additional services in-house ranging from chiropody and opticians to
hairdressing and aromatherapy and are happy to arrange other services on
request. The costs are added to the monthly bill or may be paid for out of
patients' personal cash accounts.
We will arrange transportation for

medical appointments as well as escort by care staff (our own or agency, as
necessary) where relatives are unable to accompany and will charge for these
at cost.
Newspapers and other periodicals may be
