Life at The Gables
The Gables is a converted house on a quiet terrace, small enough that everyone knows each other.
People are welcome to bring their own furniture and decorate their room the way they like. Meals are flexible, activities are arranged every day, and there's a garden for sitting out, growing things and helping with the gardening.
The bus stop, shops, post office and GP surgery are all a short walk away, so it's easy to stay part of the local community.
How moving in works
