About The Shrubbery
Up to 30 older residents can live at The Shrubbery, including people living with dementia and mental health difficulties. The home provides single rooms, most en suite, gardens and fresh meals cooked on site in a small residential setting.
Dementia-trained staff help residents maintain abilities and daily routines, with activities including gentle exercise, music and reminiscence. The home also provides palliative and end-of-life care alongside visiting community nurses. Its small scale and long-serving local team are central to the setting, with many core staff having worked there for over ten years. The Shrubbery is a care home without nursing, so nursing needs are met by visiting community nurses.
