Lawnfield House is a purpose-built 18 bedroom residential care home located in Newcastle. It is set in lovely grounds nestled under the scenic Mourne Mountains. Lawnfield provides 24-hour care for people with disabilities such as physical disabilities, visual/sensory impairments, mild learning disabilities and frail elderly. We offer both permanent and respite placements.
It is an ideal facility for those seeking a break away from home whilst still getting care and attention from trained staff.
