Show more "Yoakley House Residential Care Home was built in 1980. The aim was to provide full personal care for almshouse residents who could no longer look after themselves independently, without them having to leave their friends in the Drapers community. Almshouse residents continue to take priority for a place in Yoakley House when the need arises. There has however been a shift in government policy in recent years with the current aim being to keep residents in their own homes for as long as possible. This has meant that Yoakley House is now able to offer residential care places to those in need in the wider community.A full and varied programme of activities is laid on at Yoakley House open to both Yoakley House and the almshouse residents. These include games afternoons, church services, musical entertainers, quizzes, exercise classes." Show less
