It offers 55 one and two-bedroom apartments, at affordable rent, for people who need some additional support to live independently in their own home.The building has been designed to be easy to live in and get around in. The apartments are spacious, with large doorways for ease of access. There are two mobility scooter stores with level access to the pavement for a short trip into the town.
The communal rooms, including a lounge and dining room, are light, airy and comfortable spaces in which to relax, eat, and meet with friends and family. The communal areas include handrails and the shared outdoor spaces have paths that allow you to access planted gardens, while a nature conservation area provides a space for both residents and the community to enjoy.
The apartments at St Martin’s House are being offered to people in Dorset who need some extra care and support to live independently in their own home. Most of the apartments will be offered to people aged over 55, while a small number will be available to people aged under 55 who need access to care and support.
