Why Choose Residential Care?
There are a number of reasons why you or a loved one might choose residential care.
It is a particularly good option for those who could benefit from a calm and relaxing setting, delicious nutritious meals and a little extra support with washing, dressing, and other daily activities.
Carrington House provides a safe and homely setting for the long term, or indeed the relaxation and recuperation needed in the short term. It's important to note that residential care at Carrington is not for those who require specialist support in the form of nursing care.
Residential care is designed to give our residents independence whilst reducing the risks that come with living alone. Carrington House provides a setting to enable each of its residents to enjoy living life as they wish, safe in the knowledge that care staff are on hand to support where required.
