Needwood House provides personal and nursing care to up to 33 people, including older adults, those living with dementia, people with mental health concerns, and younger adults. The service operates across two floors in an adapted building with communal rooms on each floor, a conservatory, and an enclosed garden. At the time of inspection, 31 people were using the service.
