We are The Firs; a home that that enables all people to live with a nursing or residential or dementia care need. We strive to provide a person-centred care approach with a team of specialist nurses, carers, dementia care workers and a solid management base of which our roots are family raised.

Our home has 39 bedrooms, of which 36 are single living and we have 3 rooms which would amply accommodate couples sharing. Ensuite facilities are available.

Our residents living within the Firs are encouraged to retain access to their local health services, community and leisure facilities.

Within the Firs we have a specialist household known as The Pines assisting those living with a residential dementia care need. The Pines has a maximum occupancy of 12, thus enabling the team to provide a consistent individualised approach.
