Nestled within the charming market town of Stroud, our home benefits from the peaceful surroundings of the South West, offering residents a tranquil setting whilst remaining close to the amenities and community life of this well loved Cotswold town.

Families visiting can enjoy the accessible location, and residents benefit from being part of a wider community that values kindness, heritage, and connection. The care we provide is tailored to meet a broad range of needs. Our specialisms include older person care, residential care, dementia care, support for younger adults, and respite care. In practice, this means that whether a loved one requires long term residential support, specialist dementia care delivered with patience and understanding, or a short respite stay to allow family carers a well earned rest, our team is here to help. We recognise that each resident is an individual with their own history, preferences, and routines, and we work closely with families to ensure that personalised care remains at the centre of everything we offer. For those living with dementia, we focus on creating familiar, reassuring surroundings and consistent routines that help residents feel safe, valued, and understood. For younger adults in our care, we place emphasis on dignity, independence, and meaningful daily engagement. Regarding our quality assurance, our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection resulted in an overall rating of Requires Improvement.

We take our responsibilities seriously and are committed to continuous improvement, using feedback and inspection findings as an opportunity to enhance the experience of everyone in our care.
