About Stronvar Rest Home
Stronvar Rest Home offers residential, respite and day care in an independent home with 17 single rooms. Residents receive personal care, meals cooked on site and staff support day and night, while short stays can cover recovery after hospital or a break for a carer.
An assessment takes account of the person’s needs and information from health and social care professionals before a move is agreed. Stronvar is clear about its scope, with residential rather than nursing care, and raises changing needs with families early.

Questions families ask
Does Stronvar provide nursing care?
No. Stronvar is a residential home rather than a nursing home, with help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and daily life from staff on site 24 hours a day.
How much does permanent residential care at Stronvar cost?
Permanent residential care starts from £1,450 a week.
What does respite care at Stronvar include?
Respite care costs £237.50 a day and includes the room, all meals, personal care, laundry, activities and 24-hour support.
What happens during the Stronvar assessment?
Before someone moves in, Peter or a senior staff member meets the relative, talks with the family and reviews information from the GP, hospital or social worker to check whether Stronvar can provide suitable care.
How long can a respite stay at Stronvar last?
Respite stays run from a few days to several weeks, with everything a permanent resident receives. They can provide a carer's break, recovery time after hospital or a trial before a permanent decision.
Are meals cooked on site at Stronvar?
Yes. Meals are prepared in their own kitchen and served in the dining room. Dietary needs are catered for, and residents can eat in their room if they prefer.
