Although mere minutes from the centre of Shawford, Brackenlea fits snugly into its quiet, rural setting. We endeavour to have these relaxing surroundings inform the care we provide, and aided by our exquisite Edwardian frontage, we are proud to offer a home that chimes so well with our overall caring ethos. In Brackenlea, we will support you however we can when you make your home with us.

The interior design of Brackenlea emphasises both space, enabling ease of movement, and light, with high-ceilings and large, well-placed windows. The original features of the house, including our beautiful conservatory, serve to create an environment of serenity and relaxation.

Brackenlea is a beautiful building, but the heart of the home is the family of residents and carers that fill it. Always busy, our activities managers run events, games, shows and parties six days a week, always making sure to balance fun with relaxation. We are always open to visitors and families, whether they are coming just for a quick visit or spending the day with you.

Most of all, we want you to treat Brackenlea as your home. As such, we have fostered relationships with the local GP, who visits once a week; a local hairdresser who visits once a month (for an extra cost); and the chiropodist (for an extra cost).

At Brackenlea, we believe that you should be at the centre of your care. You know your needs and wants better than anyone, and it is our mission to ensure that they are accommodated to your satisfaction. Our staff are all specialists in elderly and dementia care, and always work to further your needs and wants. The best way we can do this is by listening to you and adapting to your requests an opinions. More broadly, we provide care for:

• Short-term respite care
• Long-term residential support
