Care we offer

Day Care

Our day care service offers a friendly, supportive environment where individuals can socialise, enjoy a home-cooked lunch, take part in activities, all while being looked after by our friendly care team. It’s a gentle first step into care for those who aren’t quite ready for full-time support, or for families who need a break on busy days.

Respite Care

Our respite care offers short-term support, giving families peace of mind when they need a little extra help. Whether it’s due to illness, travel, or simply the need to recharge, we’re here to step in with compassionate, professional care. It’s also a helpful way for individuals to gradually adjust to care life, making it a gentle progression towards full-time support

Residential Care

Choosing full-time residential care is not the end of independence; it’s the beginning of a new chapter filled with comfort, companionship, and support. We offer a safe, nurturing place where individuals can enjoy daily routines, meaningful activities, and the reassurance of round-the-clock care from our wonderful care team.
We’re here to support not just our residents, but their families too. Guiding you through the transition with compassion, clear communication, and ongoing reassurance every step of the way.

Care tailored to our residents

Dementia is a complex and deeply personal condition that affects everyone differently. That’s why we take the time to truly get to know each resident, including their history, personality and preferences, so we can provide thoughtful, person-centred care that reflects who they are and what matters most to them.

Home from home

A care home should feel just like home familiar, comfortable and filled with warmth. From day one, we make every resident feel truly welcome and part of our extended family. Whether it’s enjoying home-cooked meals, celebrating special moments or sharing a friendly chat over a cup of tea, we create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where people feel they belong. It’s the little things, a favourite chair, familiar routines, a warm greeting each morning, that bring comfort, reassurance and a true sense of home.

Staying active

There’s never a dull day at The Gables. Our residents enjoy a wide variety of activities designed to keep them active, stimulate the mind and encourage social connections. From walks to the local coffee shop and hands-on craft workshops to special visits from farm animals brought right into the home, there’s always something to brighten the day.
