Excellent staff. So helpful. Best home I have visited.
The staff are excellent - really helpful and courteous. The atmosphere is calm and friendly. I would recommend unreservedly for a person who is physically frail and has some short term memory loss. The home seems to be to treat every resident as a whole person.
My mother has been resident for 12 years. For much of this period she has been bedridden. I have always found her care impeccable and of the highest quality. She has had all the appropriate care including a water bed.
The staff were extremely kind and helpful; nothing was too much trouble. My friend was most appreciative to the end. He died on the 21st of May, staff caring for him to the end.
