My mother recently spent 3 months in 'Down Lodge Residential Care Home' receiving respite care in between the hospital and returning home. I cannot praise the team enough for their compassion, caring and empathy before and during her stay. The manager runs a thoroughly professional business and no request is too large or small. 'Down Lodge Residential Care Home' is very homely and welcoming for residents and visitors alike and I would happily recommend it to anyone who is considering care for a loved one.
