For practising Christians

Rooted in the Christian faith, life at Dorothea Court supports our residents to live fulfilled lives in their later years. We offer both independent living accommodation and assisted living for older Christians across five converted Victorian houses.

Throughout the week there are opportunities to gather together for activities including arts and crafts or exercises, and we have regular visits from local church leaders who lead devotions and services. We have occasional extra activities such as films and afternoon teas for residents and guests.

We have a very active Friends of Dorothea Court group, as well as a Pilgrims' Friend Society support group who connect with the community and plan some activities throughout the year. We are very well connected with the local church networks.

We have 15 retirement in our buildings on St George's Road, and 11 assisted living flats at Dorothea House. Accommodation is suitable for couples and a guest flat is also available for respite breaks or visitors.

We have a beautiful large garden between the houses which is available for residents to use.
