Private Care in Penrith
Welcome to our Penrith In-Home Care Team
While we often refer to Appleby as the beating heart of Eden Country Care, Penrith is the eyes and ears of the company. It’s where we have our head office and training centre, both ideally situated at the crossroads of the M6 and A66 at Redhills. The location provides easy access to all our home care branches across Cumbria. Much like the busy hustle and bustle of Penrith, our carers are often found at Redhills Training Centre as we make sure they are all up-to-date with the latest home care best practices.

Penrith is a Bustling Market Town
Penrith is renowned for being a friendly town, and much like its picturesque architecture, the people are welcoming and warm. The town has many cafés and small independent shops that welcome both young and old alike. The street life is busy but residents always find the time to stop and chat to offer a helping hand to those in need. The town offers a wide variety of events, many of them suitable for the town’s elderly residents. Not far from Penrith is Pooley Bridge and a little further from Keswick where a day trip with a walk along the banks of Ullswater or Derwentwater will rejuvenate even the oldest of souls.
If the benefits of the wonderful Cumbrian countryside need an urban top-up, Penrith offers many services to support older residents including Dance for Dementia, the Eden Memory Club, and the Sunbeams Music Trust. There are many activity groups in the town too, including The Rooms which hosts art, crafts, and exercises classes each week.
Health Services Penrith
The town has a wide range of health services including two GP practices, namely Birbeck Medical Group and the Lakes Medical Practice which are supported by a full collection of businesses like Ghylmount Dental practice, Eden Valley chiropody and podiatry, and Boots opticians. The town also has a small hospital with access to an urgent treatment centre, minor ailment services, and general medicine.
