Abbey Road is a nursing home for older people who have either dementia or a mental health need. The home has 18 individual bedrooms with full disabled access.

Facilities
- Welcoming and supportive -
Abbey Road is a modern home arranged on two floors. We have a large secure garden which residents are encouraged to use.

Each resident has their own bedroom with en suite washing and toilet facilities. The rooms are fully furnished and residents are encouraged to make their room as personal and comfortable as possible with their own belongings.

The rooms are arranged into two groups, with a shared lounge/diner room and kitchen for each group. This encourages residents to get to know each other.

A GP practice is nearby and our staff work with psychiatrists and other professionals to provide a holistic approach to the care. An optician, dentist and chiropodist also visit the home.
