Proudly not for profit
Romans was built in the 1930s, and has been a care home since 1957. We’re proud to continue serving the community today as part of Keychange, a Christian charity. Creating caring communities is key to our identity, and every penny we make goes back into providing excellent care that’s as affordable as possible.
Mum has been a resident for over 3 years and it has given her a new lease of life since going there. The staff are like an extended family always giving time to chat and showing interest in her. Their level of care is excellent and I have complete trust in them. The regular activities and events such as quiz afternoons, baking and crafts provide both social opportunities and important mental engagement. Going to visit her feels like seeing her at her home and I feel very fortunate that she is in such a wonderful environment with Christian values at its heart. – Received January 2024
