There is also the lovely little town of Knaresborough, which has lots of nice sights to see and things to do. Sherburn House also has several adapted vehicles so people can go out and about into the wider community to access other activities and different experiences.

Assist with meal preparation and medication management.
Support individuals with household tasks, such as cleaning and laundry.
Monitor and report any changes in physical or mental health to appropriate staff members.
