Our Care
Established in 1989, The Dower House has been providing top quality care for more than 30 years. We understand that there is far more to care than just meeting your medical needs. That’s why we create the best possible physical environment with emphasis on your privacy, dignity and respect at all times. We want everyone to feel at home at The Dower House.
Short-stay rooms are available for a minimum of a 1 week stay and can usually be booked at short notice, although more advance notice will ensure availability. Many people find a short stay at The Dower House can help you, and your family, experience our wonderful services and country-house hotel ambience, before making a long-term commitment.
Short Stays
Should you require a short stay for recuperation and rehabilitation following illness or an operation, or your usual support network will be away, you will enjoy our comfortable, fully furnished short-stay rooms. These rooms also offer the perfect place for a peaceful break from your usual routine, with the benefit of personal care and support.

Long Stays
All of our rooms offer the space to make a comfortable home for yourself, and thus when you move in permanently, are offered with minimal furnishings to allow you to bring your own furniture and personal items for you to achieve this.

Nursing Care
The Dower House employs a high ratio of nursing and care staff to residents. This ensures that you can get to know the staff who take care of you and enables us to become more like an extended family to you. We are proud of our extremely low staff turnover, which allows us to deliver excellent continuity of care. For your safety and peace of mind, a nurse-call system operates throughout the building ensuring you can easily contact staff 24 hours a day.

Palliative Care
Palliative Care is the delivery of individualised, person-centred care to improve your quality of life and make you as comfortable as possible during a life limiting illness. Good palliative care is achieved through the effective management of pain and other distressing symptoms which can occur at any time and is not restricted to care at the end of your life. It includes physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual care, as appropriate for you.
