About Lonnen Grove:

Lonnen Grove has six large bedrooms, each with an en-suite wet room, and communal dining and living spaces. With this small group living, we’ve found we’re able to provide a homely and supportive environment that’s more responsive to individual needs.

Daily life at Lonnen Grove is all about choice. Everything we do is personalised to the individuals we support.

Together with loved ones and professionals, we design a care plan, tailored to individual needs and goals, that enables people to live life exactly as they choose to. We encourage the people we support to continue to do the things they enjoy. We enable them to learn, volunteer and find new hobbies too if they wish.
