General Information

Shafto House was opened in 1963 and is located within walking distance of local amenities. There are three units: Balmoral, Sandringham and Windsor, each with its own dining room, kitchen and lounge. Visitors are welcome at all times and tea making facilities are available.

Professional services are available - dentist, optician, chiropodist, hairdresser and a library service with large-print books. A range of activities are arranged within the home: games nights, bingo sessions, activity mornings and outings, and reminiscence sessions are held in the home's own museum.
