For more than a hundred years the Sisters were responsible for the day to day running of the Home. Since the 1980′s however, this responsibility has been in the hands of the Head of the Home and her staff, although the Sisters live in an adjoining part of the building and maintain an active interest and involvement. One Sister has a particular responsibility in the Home: she serves on the Management Group and is available to be consulted on matters of concern to residents, which may not have been resolved by the Head of Home.
The Home is a friendly, rambling building, reminiscent of a Cotswold Manor House, dating back to the 1870s with a character and an atmosphere all of its own. |
