My Dad was in Stronvar for just over a year. It is very homely and the team are always very warm and caring to all the residents. The home is extremely clean and well presented. I would recommend Stronvar to anyone considering a home for someone.

There has been no staff turnover in the 6 months that Dad has been here. He has Alzheimers, so continuity of care is very important for him. I have peace of mind knowing that he is safe and well cared for. His needs are met, and the staff are very fond of all their residents. It is a small home so the individual care is excellent. Dad has settled very well, and certainly as much as the Alzheimers will allow.
I have also found that all the staff, from the manager to the cleaner, have been very supportive of me as well as Dad. I've had some difficult decisions to make and they have supported me at every turn. It's a real team effort.
Very Glad to hear you thoughts and thank you for your kind words.
