The original part of the building still holds its Victorian charm and offers residents four spacious lounges which overlook the gardens. The home is convenient for the local town and its amenities, and is within walking distance.

Saxondale is built on two levels and caters for 37 Service Users of 55 years and over. Day care is also provided.

This well established home is involved in the local community and has an excellent reputation for providing a high standard of individualised care.
