HELPFUL INFORMATION

We want to support you in any way we can and we are proud to be able to provide a wide range of care options within Penpergwm House. However you may want some further help to negotiate your (or your relative's) next stage in life and to assist you in making the right choices and decisions regarding your or their care going forward.

Our promise of care is to endeavour to guide you through this process and to ensure that our main priority is understanding the individual need of each and every client.
