This scheme will enable a more substantial expansion and refurbishment of the existing accommodation than has been possible in previous years. This house is being upgraded and improved to not only meet the changing care needs of Trepasseys' existing elderly residents but also bringing both the care facilities and the building up to a standard that will serve existing and future elderly residents in this community well over the next circa thirty years, and give a better working environment for the staff. It is primarily the nature of the sloping site that has allowed the majority of the new accommodation and specialist dementia care wings to be tucked in the site below the existing main house and also allowed access to extended and improved DDA compliant gardens.
