(Geraldine Smith Director - Coate Water Care Co. Ltd)
The family have been involved in providing care since 1995 beginning with a small care home in Old Town, Swindon. They quickly gained a great reputation for quality care and within eighteen months they acquired Four Seasons, in Rodbourne Cheney.
In the Millennium year, they decided that the old building that housed their first home could not meet their ever increasing demands of raised standards, so they purchased Ashbury Lodge, and after a carefully planned operation, moved Residents and staff from the small home into the newer, spacious building. This increased their residential accommodation from 29 to 59 in total, excluding day care.
They have invested heavily in the properties and in the staff that run them to provide a safe, comfortable and caring environment for our elder generation.
