Why Arbour Walk is the Right Choice for Your Loved One

We believe in empowering our Residents to live life on their terms. Our approach combines professional expertise with genuine understanding, ensuring each Resident maintains their sense of self while feeling fully supported. Our award-winning design creates the perfect setting for exceptional care, particularly for those living with dementia, mental health needs, or chronic physical conditions.

Care Plans That Evolve With You

Our Care Services

Every person’s care needs are unique, which is why we take time to understand not just what support each Resident needs, but how they prefer to receive it. Our purpose-built home features three specialist wings, each designed to provide optimal care for different needs.

The Latimer Wing

23 ensuite bedrooms

The Ellesmere Wing

Two 15 bed suites, all with ensuite bedrooms

Premium Physiotherapy Packages

We understand that maintaining mobility and independence is of the utmost importance for our Residents’ well-being. At Arbour Walk, our Residents have the option to purchase a Premium Physiotherapy Package with one of our Cedar Care Physiotherapists. All of our physiotherapists have previously worked as care assistants, giving them the ability to navigate the challenges associated with helping those in their later years to get back to their best. They have a genuine passion for caring for the elderly and vulnerable, and are keen to help Residents to maintain their independence or regain motor skills where they can. We know that starting a new service can be daunting, especially when it is focused on physical activity. If you are unsure if the Premium Physiotherapy Package is for you, you can request a free Taster Week by speaking with the Home Manager.

What Our Residents Say

Real Stories, Real People

My partner has been in this home for just over 18 months. During this time he and I have found the staff to be kind and caring towards both of us. They are very understanding of his needs and do everything possible to make him happy.

Partner of Resident 9 January 2025

Since my dad arrived at Arbout Walk, his care has been second to none. The carers meet all his needs and always have a smile on their face. There is always a nurse around which is really reassuring. When it comes to meals there is an option of three different meals so nobody goes hungry! The wellbeing team put entertainment in the beautiful indoor garden room, cinema or even the bar area so there can always be things to do. Overall I think Arbour Walk has been a perfect fit for my dad and I know at all times he is being well looked after so I could not ask for more.

Daughter of Resident 21 October 2024

My Father had been in another care home since August 2023 during this time I noticed a steady decline in his well-being. In April 2024, he moved to Arbour Walk, in the short time he has been at Arbour Walk there has been a vast improvement in his health and cleanliness. He is happy at his new home. This is all down to the manager and excellent care team at Arbour Walk. For which I will be eternally grateful. My Father and myself cannot thank all at Arbour Walk for their help and friendship.

Son of Resident 25 September 2024

Cannot praise Arbour Walk highly enough. All the staff were kind, caring, patient and helpful at all times. They kept us fully informed at all times and answered all our questions whenever we telephoned (every day). They were very accommodating to all our needs during my husband's palliative care. From managers to nursing/care staff, caterers and housekeepers - too many to mention - thank you all so very much for being a wonderful team.

Wife of Resident 2 August 2023

Staff have been amazing, warm, friendly, attentive and approachable. They have worked so hard settling her, and through times of distress (due to her illness) they have been brilliant in supporting her. It is clear they are trained to a high level and manage very well. Communication has been excellent, finding out as much as possible about my mum to ensure they can support her in the best way possible. The home itself is spotlessly clean and the decor and interior are designed to a very high standard and are reflective of the care provided.
