Facilities include a concierge service, multiple lounges, desirable dining areas, courtyard garden, hairdressing and beauty spa, sociable café and kitchenettes to encourage independent living.

Runwood Homes has continued to work in partnership with Warwickshire County Council since taking over ownership of the service along with seven other of the local authority’s homes five years ago. The homes provided council referral as well as self-funding placements.
