We make health happen
Here at Bupa we support those when they need it the most. Our care homes are dedicated to delivering person-centred care, supporting independence and honouring choice to help our residents live their best lives.
Here on the northern edge of Barnet, Hadley Lawns warmly welcomes
those in need of nursing, residential and palliative care. That could
be for a few short weeks of respite for a break, whilst recovering
from an operation, or a long-term move. Whatever the reason, their
doors are open, advanced bookings available.
There are lots of
places to relax and residents can experience a little pampering in the
hair and beauty salon, choose a book from the library, or enjoy a
quiet cup of coffee in the conservatory.
Outside, the well-tended
gardens are easily accessible for wheelchairs. There's plenty of space
on the terrace to sit and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, and there
are raised flower beds for anyone who'd like to do a spot of gardening.
