Hairdressing:
Lynette Ledger, a local hairdresser, visits every two weeks.
Chiropody:
Martin Drew, a chiropodist, visits the Home every six weeks and is happy to attend to any new resident for a nominal fee.
Physiotherapists:
St John’s Home employs two physiotherapists, Cee and Annie, who offer physiotherapy to anyone who needs it. This is free of charge to residents. Cee also runs a weekly Movement to Music gentle exercise class.
Library:
Large print books can be ordered along with more ordinary books from the local County lending library. The books are brought to the Home on a regular basis. 
Visiting Chaplain:
The Home’s chaplain, Father David Owen, is an Anglican priest. He visits regularly and can be available for confidential consultation, or for the spiritual needs of the residents, although no pressure is put on any resident to participate in any religious activities, should they wish not to.
The Convent Chapel:
The splendid convent chapel designed by Sir Ninian Comper is well known for its stone rood-screen and the graceful carving of the choir stalls. The prayer and worship of the Sisters, both privately and in chapel, forms a back-cloth to the daily life of the Home, which many residents seem to value. A few come regularly to Vespers, or early morning Communion with the Sisters, but most prefer the special service on Sunday or the late Communion service during the week, which fit in with the slower rhythm of life in the Home. 
Many residents are concerned about what will happen on their death. Our staff take great pains to ensure previously expressed wishes of residents are fully respected after they have died. If requested, we can usually make arrangements for the funeral to be held in the chapel, when again the preferences of the late resident and their relatives are taken into careful consideration.
Minibus service for appointments:
We have a minibus which is adapted to take wheelchairs and wherever possible, can be used to transport residents to hospital, optician and dentist appointments.
Electric Scooters:
We have two electric scooters which residents can use to travel around the grounds or to the local park and shops.
