We help our residents to lead active lives in friendly, comfortable surroundings, involving them in the local community whenever we can.
The home opened in 1993 with just one resident and we have come a long way since then! Currently, we employ 17 members of staff, many of whom have been with us for twenty years or more.
Our caring team aims to respect people’s privacy and treat them with dignity and kindness. We believe good communication and flexibility go a long way to helping an individual fulfill their needs and live a meaningful life.

Our Rooms
Sydenham House is a converted detached building believed to have originally been a merchant’s house, dating back to the 1850s. It offers 19 rooms spread over each of its three floors. 18 of the rooms are en-suite with the other having access to a private bathroom.
Our Produce
We are extremely proud of our nearby Awre Farm, run by Graham.
Our Farm of approximately 25 acres houses a variety of rare breeds including 28 Herefordshire cows and a mixture of Southdown, Kerry Hill, Dorset and Swaledale sheep. We are particularly proud of Prince George, our Guernsey goat, and Princess Charlotte, a pygmy goat.
