The current management team have made a big improvement to the care home. All the staff are very attentive. My visit with my brother was on my mother's 93rd Birthday and they made a lot of effort to ensure she enjoyed it.

The team are working very hard and to know that families and residents are noticing all efforts, will give them the recognition they deserve. Ensuring that birthdays are celebrated to the full are, of course, another way of demonstrating our passion for the delivery of excellent care. Kind regards.

Thank you for your kind review, we're pleased to know that your opinion of our homes is positive. Our staff will be pleased to hear that they are doing a marvellous job. Wishing you the best, stay safe.
The home has significantly improved since the new manager and deputy manager have taken over. The care my mum has received has been excellent and they have been really accommodating during lockdown with calls and Facetime calls.

Looking forward to visiting the home again soon with Mum to partake in their activities. Dropped by today to thank all the staff and to visit the friends Mum made during her stay.

Lovely comments, many thanks for your kind review.
Without the care and dignity my Mother received during her residential stay, I doubt very much she would have lived to the great age of 93. I will never be able to thank the staff enough for their diligence and support.

Excellent choice of residential home for any service users in need, they are never left alone.

General bathroom shower not functioning. Boiler/heating breaks down every winter. A complete re-plumbing needs to be done. Electricity - cuts out (lighting) There is no communication from Goldcare re maintenance planning for the year or budget allocation.

Thank you for your kind words, Jean, they are very much appreciated.
Everyone was awake, activities going on.
Asked other residents what they thought and all came back with positive remarks.
Feeling OK about leaving my mother in law for two weeks respite care.

However, during the last three years, the changes in management and lack of permanent staff and also the fact that staff are overworked has made me doubt that the home offers the best care. We have also had financial issues due to the home continuing to take funds from her account after she had gone under the threshold.
My father always has a twinkle in his eyes when we visit. He's always clean and tidy, eats well, looks good other than when he might be unwell. Staff are always attentive, pleasant and helpful, can't do enough for the residents. Plenty of activities where they all take part in.
