About Bernadette House
Residential and dementia care at Bernadette House is complemented by respite, day care and home care. Its 24-hour staff support people who need help with daily life, while short stays can assist recovery after illness or give family carers time to rest.
The home has an acre of gardens, communal areas and activities, with residents able to plant flowers, tend the herb garden or spend time outdoors. Respite stays can also act as a gentle introduction to care for someone unsure about a permanent move. The home’s facilities include a dining room, conservatory and hairdresser, supporting everyday routines and social contact. Respite care offers a short-term trial stay for people considering their next step.
