The Team

Annabel House specialises in the care of residents with Dementia, Behavioural problems, Challenging behaviour and other Psychiatric illnesses. Unlike the majority of other Nursing Homes, it is registered both for Dementia and Mental Illness and it is staffed both by Registered Mental Nurses and Registered General Nurses.

We have a very qualified team at Annabel House, with a great deal of experience and a positive attitude towards care and towards our philosophies which, in turn, leads to significant bonds between residents and our staff.
