There is also a residents’ lounge, activity room, buggy store, guest suite and communal gardens for residents and their guests to enjoy. As well as support from a specialist team, the scheme is managed by a dedicated onsite Registered Manager. The development is based in the charming village of Oxenholme in Cumbria, which is only 1.5 miles from the Lake District National Park.
