Our residents have enjoyed Xmas dinner with their families at the rest home and hospital - this is their first for the year before the main one on Xmas day - either at their families homes or with us on the special day. It will also be the last in the separate facilities as next year we will be able to combine everybody in the new facility.

Rest Home residents and family were able to finish the day inspecting the new build and were noticeably impressed by spacious rooms including four lounges along with wireless internet and heated entrance ramp.
