About Hylton Grange

Hylton Grange specialises in supporting younger adults living with dementia, acquired brain injuries, complex mental health conditions and physical disabilities. 

Hylton Grange is split into three, ten-bed communities, as small group living provides a more homely, supportive, and responsive care environment. Each of the 30 bedrooms has its own en-suite wet room.

The units have lots of communal space with their own dining room, lounge, quiet lounge and a sensory bathroom. 

Residents can also enjoy an activities hub, therapy, room, hair salon and large accessible gardens for socialising with others. The home has its own therapy room providing a dedicated space for rehabilitation.
