A home, not just a service

Bradbury Wing is a 20-bed care home located in the tranquil setting of Newcastle, surrounded by beautiful trees and nature. The home specialises in providing complex care for young adults with physical and learning disabilities. Residents here have access to advanced medical support, including PEG feeding and ventilators, tailored to individual needs. The peaceful, homely atmosphere makes Bradbury Wing a calm and welcoming environment, ideal for those needing a quiet retreat with easy access to nature. It is tucked away near a park and woods, offering a relaxing and peaceful living experience. The team is also working to upgrade the décor, making the home even more comfortable for residents.
