Bourne House looks after those who need a little extra help to maintain their independence. Bourne House is also where you’ll find our nursing household.
And in return The Trust is a great place to work; we’ve been providing care for almost 1,000 years and we’re currently the second largest not-for-profit provider in the UK.
