About The Graylyns
Nearly 30 years ago a beloved family member, was diagnosed with dementia.
This family member lived out their latter days and months in a residential care home.
It was during this time that Graham and Lynne realised that many Residential Settings were too big and missed a genuine loving and caring, homely environment.
Due to this lack of person-centred care, the family member became increasingly more anxious, unsettled, and withdrawn. That care home lacked the time, compassion and empathy, leaving the family member to be often isolated and left to their own devices.
Due to this lack of stimulation, care and love the family become a shadow of their former self.
Upon the Individual passing, Graham and Lynne promised they would open a care home which provided everything they felt was missing during the final months and days of the family members life.
Thus, The Graylyns was 'born' in Spring of 1998.
