Thomas Tawell House offers single en-suite rooms, home cooking and 24 hours care. The home works closely with the Primary Care Team and a local GP holds a weekly clinic and also will visit on request. We also offer a domiciliary dental service, hairdresser and chiropodists who visit on a regular basis.
