Our community

The Finborough Court team provide daily checks for those living in the flats and bungalows, as well as providing light maintenance support and a weekly clean of the communal areas. The staff are also available to sign-post residents to local services and activities and are always happy to lend a friendly ear! There is a regular Bible study in the communal lounge and a volunteer-run friendship group for all to enjoy.

Those living in the flats are welcome to join in the care home during regular Sunday afternoon and Wednesday mornings services. They are also welcome to volunteer in the care home, whether by using a skill or talent to support an activity or group, or by befriending a particular resident.

Those who find they need more care support can arrange this from external agencies.
