Accommodation

We offer accommodation for 26 residents, in a lovely Victorian building. Because Melrose is not purpose built, we offer a homely, not clinical atmosphere. Each room has it's own individual character. Most have large, bay windows making them light and airy.

Nearly all our residents benefit from en suite facilities, and all have private washing facilities and a colour television. There are two double rooms, suitable for couples or sharers, both of these have en suite facilities. Residents are encouraged to bring smaller items of personal furniture and effects which have sentimental significance and give a more personal touch to the room. Each room is equipped with a fully monitored nurse call system and we have a full range of specialist nursing equipment  to suit our residents' particular needs.

For communal activities, there is a choice of sitting rooms, conservatories and a quiet room.   Residents are encourged to eat in the dining room, but if any resident should prefer to have meals in their room, this is fine, too.

During warmer weather, residents can enjoy the fresh seaside air in our lovely garden, which has well stocked borders and any gardening enthusiast can enjoy our raised borders from the comfort of a chair or a wheelchair.
