About Mayflower Care Home
Mayflower Care Home combines residential and nursing support with specialist dementia, respite and palliative care in a purpose-built home. Its care plans are regularly reviewed and adapted, allowing support to respond when a resident’s needs change.
The home includes private en-suite bedrooms and secure gardens with wheelchair access. Residents can also use dining areas, activities and entertainment, while an in-house salon adds to the daily facilities. People staying for respite receive the same care, dining, activities and facilities as full-time residents. The home’s accessible gardens provide space for walks, family visits and time outdoors.
