Welcome to Firstlings

Firstlings is a residential home, which has been established since 1986 and was originally a vicarage, is set in gardens, including a centrally positioned courtyard garden and patio area. All bedrooms and communal areas are fitted with a nurse-call system and smoke alarm. All bedrooms are fully furnished, but residents are welcome to bring with them items of their own furniture by arrangement.

We provide 24-hour quality care for 32 elderly ladies or gentleman in single rooms who are aged 65 or above who may have suffered the disabilities of stroke / arthritis or any illness that has affected their mobility or ability to look after themselves and their homes any longer without assistance.

We are able to also provide care for those suffering from Alzheimer’s or Dementia. However, the home does not provide nursing care directly; district nurses do serve the home on a daily basis.

At Firstlings we are committed to providing a secure, happy and comfortable home, promoting a high standard of care and understanding of individuals needs, to offer as mush support as required, whilst maintaining respect for privacy at all times, and help maintain personal dignity and independence wherever possible.

To foster an atmosphere of care and support which both enables and encourages our Residents to live as full, interesting and independent a lifestyle as possible with rules and regulations being kept to a minimum.
