Statement of purpose

(the ethos and purpose of the scheme as described to a potential resident)
Cobnut Park was developed to give you the luxury and peace of mind you deserve, the development has been designed to meet your needs today, and those that may arise in the future. we also value your independence as much as you do.

If you regularly measure outcomes to help assess the quality of your service and the well-being of your residents, please describe how you do this. A key part of the lifestyle Cobnut Park affords is its Extra Care service. Starting from just two hours' support a week, and completely flexible, its aim is to ensure you enjoy your time at Cobnut Park to its fullest. From help with housework to support dressing or taking medication, our approach is always bespoke to you. Our care providers have been rated by the (CQC) Care quality commission (good) who carry out inspections of the care provided.
