Living at Thomas Owen House
The home is set within pleasant grounds. The original building has been significantly added to over the years creating a horseshoe
building which surrounds our beautiful landscaped garden. The shape of the building offers not only plenty of space to walk around but
also provides many different seating areas and places to relax.
Thomas Owen House can accommodate up to 35 people, the majority of rooms being large and offering double beds and en-suite
facilities. We have a continual renovation programme to ensure space, dignity and privacy can be enjoyed by our people.
The central garden is understandably a focal point of the home and is much loved by our residents. Our large dining rooms and
conservatories offer not only excellent access to the gardens but also provide significant edge space for our people's enjoyment.
We have recreational facilities such as a pool table and beauty spa room as well as an exercise area and equipment.
We provide a safe, supportive and homely environment where people have a sense of belonging and where each individual is recognised
and valued as a full member of society.
