Thank you so much for this lovely review, D W - it really made our day. We're so glad your uncle had a happy birthday and that so many of the team took the time to wish him well. It means a lot to hear that he's settled in, put on some weight, and seems so much happier since moving to Friars Mead - that's exactly what we hope for every resident, and it's wonderful that his family can see the difference too. We'll be sure to share your kind words with the whole team, who'll be delighted to know their efforts were noticed and appreciated. Thank you again for taking the time to write this, and for trusting us with your uncle's care. Warm regards, The Friars Mead Team Read less

Thank you so much, Dawn - what a beautiful review, and what a joy to read.

It sounds like your mother-in-law truly made Friars Mead her home, and that is exactly what we hope for every resident who walks through our doors. Knowing she was happy, well cared for, and surrounded by friendships means more to us than words can say.

Your mention of the outings, activities, and family days is so lovely to hear - our team puts so much heart into making those moments special, and it is wonderful to know they were appreciated.

With warmest thanks, from the Friars Mead Team Read less
