Care Home

Independent Living

Even for the most able retiree, there comes a time when help is needed with the basics of day-to-day living. Family members often step in to provide support, however there is always a limit to how much time can be committed and the level of care they can provide. This is where serviced apartment living can provide the ideal solution.

We can provide a whole host of services, 24-hour support and a quality of life that you or your loved ones truly deserve. While you may be at a stage where you need a higher level of care, you can keep the spirit of independence, while your family can rest assured that you are always in safe hands and in good company.

Care with a difference

Powley offers a wide range of care options and has a high quality care home delivering rest home and hospital level care. We understand that moving into residential care is a big decision, and it can signal a considerable change in lifestyle. But here at Powley we’re passionate about our resident-directed care philosophy – and we’re firm believers that the way you live your life shouldn’t need to change just because you’re in care. While some care homes instil strict schedules for daily routines, at Powley you can wake up when you like, go to bed when you like, and continue enjoying a daily routine that suits you! We also deliver great palliative care and can offer respite care if we have rooms available.

Great care comes from great people

We pride ourselves on the quality of our staff because they make a big difference to our residents’ lives. Not only do we handpick staff with the right skills and experience, but we choose people who care deeply about our residents and who are incredibly passionate about what they do. For our team, treating people with dignity and respect comes naturally, and your best interests will always be our top priority.

Ramping up the fun factor

Our diversional therapist organises a dynamic and engaging activity programme for care home residents, including Ladies’ Club, Men’s Club, walking groups, baking classes, visiting entertainers, quizzes and special interest activities. We run two bus trips each month, plus put on a highly anticipated mid-winter feast and Christmas lunch for residents and their family and friends. There’s never a dull moment at the Powley care home!

Independent living in our cottages.

Comfortable. Spacious. Affordable.

Powley has a range of accommodation choices that allow for completely independent living through to serviced apartments, rest home and hospital care. This gives couples the chance to stay close should their needs be different.

We have 46 cottages, with pretty English gardens and serviced by three large multi-garaging spaces. The village is small so it’s just a stroll away from neighbours and recreational facilities.

You live with complete independence, and remain responsible for your own household tasks and meals, while we take care of all the outdoor maintenance. If you would like more help, we offer a range of service and care packages delivered to you in your home.

If you require assisted living options we also have a choice of high quality serviced apartments – designed for people who value their independence but enjoy having easy access to additional care and support services, a rest home and a hospital on-site.
