Our home boasts a serene and tranquil library lounge, which stands as a popular place for residents to enjoy some time to themselves. It serves as a sanctuary, inviting residents to unwind, delve into their favourite books or embark on a journey with a new literary companion.
We wholeheartedly encourage all residents to make the most of our library lounge, whether it’s to sit back with a book and cup of tea, use our desk for writing, or enjoy some card games with friends.
Engaging in reading can yield significant health benefits for our resident’s mental wellbeing. The act of reading regularly carries a multitude of advantages, from stress reduction and memory enhancement to even promoting better sleep. The simple act of reading for enjoyment has a profound positive effect on the overall wellbeing of our residents, which is why we encourage full use of our library lounge, whether for reading or any other activities our residents find relaxing.
In our library, we strive to cater to a broad spectrum of tastes and interests, offering a collection that encompasses beloved classics alongside more contemporary literary works. Regardless of our residents’ preferred genres, we are certain that our shelves hold something to captivate their curiosity. We make it a point to regularly refresh our book selection, guaranteeing something new to engage our residents.

With a focus on comfort, happiness, and a strong sense of belonging, we’re dedicated to enabling our residents to continue living life their way, and we are here for them every step of the way.
Our library boasts a diverse collection of books, spanning from timeless classics to new releases. In addition, residents have the option to peruse newspapers and magazines and we can even arrange subscriptions upon request.
