With staff who are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, Rushfields has a warm, family feel. Some of the staff are extremely long-serving, having been with the home for over 10 years.

Providing residential, dementia, nursing and palliative care, they also provide respite care breaks, which can be booked in advance. These are ideal for family carers who would like to plan a short break themselves.
