“The staff always treat her with dignity and respect and are very caring and friendly. The home has recently been refurbished and is bright, and clean. I am so pleased with the care that she is receiving.”
Daughter-in-law of Resident, 16 August 2023, carehome.co.uk
“Every single member of staff that works there is incredibly kind and caring. My mum really enjoys being there and there is so much going on for her to take part in, it melts my heart that she gets to do so much despite having Huntington’s.”
Daughter of resident, 2 August 2023, carehome.co.uk
“The carers are lovely and always know how to make her smile. One staff member in particular provides different activities to keep them busy, the carers know everyone and remember who's visiting who.”
