Overall Experience
I think this home is very family-orientated and everyone is lovely and I feel at home when I am here when visiting my sister. The staff are just wonderful. Most food is home cooked and I think that's wonderful.

Overall Experience
My son has lived at Downniew since he was 18 years old. This year he will be 54 and he is very settled in his home. Among the other residents and the staff his world is a happy one and I can't ever thank enough everyone that has helped him in his development and well-being.

My father and I thought we'd hit the jackpot when my sister was accepted into this wonderful home. The staff and residents really are like a large family.
The house is excellently maintained and comfortable, the bedrooms are cosy and the residents are encouraged to put their own stamp on their room for a personal touch.
It is clear that the staff take their roles very seriously in every aspect, of personal care, preparing meals, taking the residents on excursions, to medical appointments, shopping, and ensuring they get good exercise. Family members and friends are welcome to call in personally and call on the telephone.

I know my sister is very happy with her extended family, I couldn't have asked for more.
