One of my oldest friends has been a resident in The Old School House since she felt unable to cope alone in her own home. I have visited her regularly for several years and have always felt very welcome on my visits. My friend is happy there and has received excellent care. The small number of residents contributes to a friendly, family atmosphere.

From the first day, my mum has been treated with respect and dignity, by very warm, caring staff. We have pleasure visiting my mum, not only by seeing her, but the environment she and the other residents are living in, it feels like a family. The activities are well thought out and stimulate the residents and us when we are visiting. All through Covid, the home has kept everyone safe by excellent management, which was a relief at a worrying time and are still alert now, for the circulating infections. The best recommendation I can make to others, is to say, my mum is happy and I know she is safe and well cared for and treated as an individual.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Joanna, its a pleasure to look after your mum and we are so grateful for all your support as well.

Based on my observations, I would have no reservations in recommending the Old School House to my friends and family.

The only disadvantage is perhaps the small size of the premises, with only on common room and dining room, but there is also a garden area for summer use.
It is a great relief to know our mum is being well looked after in this small homely environment. The staff and management are caring and efficient. My mum is as happy as she can be.
