About The Graylyns
Nearly 30 years ago a family member, was diagnosed with dementia.
They lived out her latter days and months in a local residential care home. Sadly, we always felt the setting was too big and lacked the atmosphere of a loving, caring homely environment.
Due to this they became increasingly more anxious and unsettled, which in turn was upsetting for us.
We felt the Care Home lacked the time and Person Centred touch; the one solution fits all mentality meant that our loved one was often isolated and left to their own devices.
Over time they became withdrawn and a shadow of their former self.
On their passing Graham and Lynne promised we would open a care home which provided everything we felt was missing during those finally months and week.
The Graylyns was 'born' in Spring of 1998.
