Everything @ Cavendish has improved significantly since the change management operations were enacted in January 2026. My mum's good health and well-being are noticeable, communications are better the staff are excellent and the seniors have put in extra effort to lead their team through changes. I always look forward to seeing all the staff and residents when I go in. I live 3hr drive away and now have trust and confidence in the whole team to be able to pull back a little. Mum has a busy schedule now. The fact that she doesn't need me so much anymore is testament to all Cavendish staff
