From relaxing cinema afternoons to picturesque walks by the river Thames, relaxation is never far away.

The Close employs two activity coordinators who encourage residents to be confident, enjoy a feeling of accomplishment and self-confidence. Community related activities are provided to those residents who wish to participate in order that their lifestyles and contacts within the community are maintained.

All activities are well planned and adequate notice given to allow residents' relatives, friends and staff to participate if they so wish. Suitably experienced staff are always in attendance.

'The great atmosphere at The Close is reflected in its surroundings which are well kept, beautiful and serene. This, coupled with the approachability and friendliness of the management, makes it a truly wonderful place to be.'

Selina Morris, Head Housekeeper
