It offers residential, nursing (including palliative and end-of-life), dementia and respite care across 102 registered beds. Dementia support is provided in Poppy Lodge, and a day club is also available.

Activities include quizzes, gardening and concerts, and a café in the Community Hub welcomes visitors. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Outstanding overall in its 2025 report, with Outstanding grades for being effective, caring, responsive and well-led, and a Good grade for safety.
