Our Services

Braeside House is an award winning care home, specifically designed for the visually impaired.

It has two floors with 35 single en-suite bedrooms. Each floor is divided into three units with its own dining and sitting room, so that care can be carried out in small living areas. There is easy access to bath and shower facilities. Each room is furnished with a bed, direct dial telephone, TV socket, wardrobe, chest of drawers and a bedside cabinet with a lockable drawer. The en suite contains further storage space.

Residents are welcome and encouraged to personalise their room.

Our service is directly supervised by Registered Nurses supported by care and domestic staff over the full 24 hour period. The services of the resident’s own General Practitioner may be retained; otherwise, the Home’s Doctor visits regularly or as necessary. There is also routine contact with the Princess Alexandra Eye Pavilion.

The easily accessible garden areas around our Home provide a safe, relaxing environment for residents and visitors. A wide range of activities and entertainments is provided in-house and visits are arranged throughout the year to various places of interest. Relatives and friends are welcome to attend or participate in all of these activities and ventures.
