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

Activities 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.

'Visitors should always be prepared to expect the unexpected in an astonishing way, there is such a great variety of things to do, allowing residents to enjoy every moment here'

Richard Edwards, Catering Manager
