we could have ever wanted for her as a family. OCH have done all they can to support her, on a personal and emotional level, and by taking her out to different activities. Friends and family have observed since my sister has moved into OCH, she has become more independent and learnt many skills i.e. Interpersonal and craft.

and safety were above what we could handle at home, and with the aid of social services, we started to look at homes again. We were offered several places over a 4 month period and turned them down. Then we found Ganarew, made a call and went to visit. It instantly felt safe, welcoming and friendly. There was a distinctive "family" feel and all the residents and staff appeared to be happy and content. The rooms are well-equipped and the building is light, clean and comfortable. The care is exceptional and we know he is in safe hands. I really couldn't recommend Ganarew highly enough. The team make what is a hard decision for a family, easy, because you know they care about their residents.

did not have the will to fight it.

of her life. However, within days of being in Ganarew House, everything changed. It's like she 'woke up'. Suddenly she started talking again, eating, drinking, smiling and most of all living! And this is down to the expert care that she gets. Every need is taken care of, from nutrition to health, to activities, literally everything. One of the best assets is how much residents' families can integrate into that care package. My dad and I frequently visit and we receive a warm welcome every time. We are included in all decisions about my mum's care and are very much encouraged to be a part of her life. Thank you to all the staff, you really are amazing.
