Care Homes in Cumbria

Set in the Georgian town of Whitehaven, Johnson House was built in 1985 and consisted of nine bedsits. The house was extended in 1995 when all bedsits were given their own level access wet rooms. During the renovations a beautiful conservatory was added which is well used by our residents for sitting in and enjoying the views with stunning sunsets. In 2012 the house was extended again to provide 10 one bedroom bedsits.
