Kirk House "Housing with care"

Residential Accommodation for older people

Kirk House provides residential care with independence and privacy. It offers a level of care which meets the needs of individuals in a setting which encourages residents to maintain their links with the past, enjoy the present and have confidence in the future.

"You strike up good friendships. It's like home, but on a corridor not an avenue"

BCM hopes that residents can live as normally as possible, in an environment where independence, freedom of choice, self-esteem and dignity are respected and encouraged.
