Apple Tree House
Berrow, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset
Located near the popular coastal town of Burnham-On-Se, this family style, four bed home opened in January 2006. Apple Tree House was refurbished to an excellent standard, in line with the philosophy of the company.
As with all our residential care homes there is a big emphasis on encouraging the service users to participate in lots of activities and to become part of the local community. We arrange a variety of activities on a daily basis to suit the needs and tastes of each individual.
The property has good-sized gardens as well as views of the golf course and beach. The beach itself is just a few minutes walk from the house, as are the local playing fields, shops and public house.

Holly Tree Cottage
Berrow, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset
Our first residential care home, Holly Tree Cottage is a seven-bed home for young adults which has been open since March 2004. It provides a very 'homely' environment for seven young men, all in their late teens or early twenties, and is a hive of constant activity.
The home, situated next door to Apple Tree House, is a lively yet caring environment where residents are treated with respect and personal dignity. The local community is highly supportive.
The private rear garden is totally secure with areas of lawn, flowers and shrubs and we ensure that service users at Holly Tree Cottage can use the garden whenever they wish to, yet remain totally safe.
