Meet Our Founders
Wendy Peggs
Home Owner
Brian Peggs
Home Owner
Wendy and Brian started their first care home in 1988. Another home followed in 1992 and their final purchase was Beechwood Gardens in 1995 when it had been closed down. Over the years they transformed it into the warm, homely and comfortable care home it is today.
Their mission has been to create a happy place both for our residents to live and our staff to work and for families to feel comfortable that their loved ones are in good hands. Good food also comes high up on their agenda alongside enjoyable activities also.
They still play an active part in the running of the home.
