Brief description
Forder Lane House is a care home owned by Dartington Housing Association. It is set within a complex of sheltered bungalows, also owned by the housing association. All bedrooms, communal rooms and facilities are situated on the ground floor.
People are accommodated in pleasant single rooms, which have en-suite facilities or a designated toilet nearby. The bedrooms all have an external door that opens out onto level gardens. There is an attractive central combined lounge/dining area.
