The Residency

James Barker House has 120 rooms spread over eight wings orbiting four nurses stations. With access to dining, lounge, living rooms, courtyards and a dedicated theatre for film screenings. Residents on the ground floor are dealing with issues related to alcohol, brain injury and mental illness.
Residents on the first floor have varying care needs and degrees of dependence, ranging from minimal support with personal care to those who are fully dependent, requiring full personal and nursing care.

We have created specialised procedures that cater for those persons whose lifestyle is adversely impacted by alcohol and tobacco usage. The house’s eight wings and four nursing stations enhance these programs, upholding the dignity of the individual.
