Did you know?!

Weystone Manor is the very first home within Barchester Healthcare to have underfloor heating!
This comes with some fantastic benefits for our residents, a few of these are:
- More bedroom space for our residents so they can bring more of their own furniture should they wish.
- Improved air quality, which is particularly beneficial for those who suffer with allergies.
- Even heat distribution and zone controlled, keeping our residents lovely and warm in the colder months (should they choose to be).
- Energy efficient, which of course is important to all of us!
