We aim to create a happy, secure environment where the worries of everyday living are removed, in which our residents can live their lives as fully as they are able and as they choose. Boucherne is a home, not an institution, the most frequent comment from visitors is 'how homely it feels'. We understand that one of the biggest fears for older people is losing their independence, but residential care should not have to feel like that. At Boucherne we provide a safe, homely environment where independence is promoted and expert care is available whenever needed.

Our twenty-four resident men and women come to live with us either because they would like company and companionship, or because they need professional help. We offer the security and peace of mind that we will provide the care that's needed, for life.

All our residents are encouraged to make Boucherne their own, to be as active and independent as they wish – both in and out of the home - and we encourage everyone to maintain old interests and develop new ones. Our well-trained team of staff provide as much or as little help and care as each individual needs, combining respect for privacy with kindness, consideration and expertise.
