The Dower House ethos is rooted in the desire to support people to live as independently as possible in later life. In order to achieve this, it’s important to take care of your health and wellbeing. In our blogs, we consider the different aspects of ageing and later life, sharing tips, advice and relevant news to help you prolong your independence whether in your own home or in residential care. You'll also find the latest news from The Dower House, including outings and activities, special events and staff achievements. We hope this will help give you a flavour of what life is like at The Dower House!
