There are places for seven residents and one warden. Each residence has one room upstairs and one room downstairs; at the rear are a kitchen, bathroom and a lobby. Each home has its own garden at the back; the front garden is for all the residents to enjoy and is kept tidy by a gardener. The warden visits the residents each day; there are no nursing facilities and residents are expected to be able to look after themselves and to cook for themselves. The residents pay a weekly maintenance charge. Refurbishment takes place every 20 years or so.When a residence becomes available the appointment is advertised extensively and locally. Applicants have to complete a form and suitable candidates are interviewed. The gift of the appointment is vested in the Trustees. The Trustees interpret the rules fairly liberally and a residence is not usually empty for long." Show less
