Is The Laurels suitable for wheelchair users?
Yes. The house is adapted for wheelchair users and people with mobility needs, with a lift providing access to five first-floor bedrooms.
How much does The Laurels cost?

As a guide, Hampshire council paid on average £1,214 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
