Thank you so much for taking the time to review Island Sands Care home and your kind words. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to the staff team. We take on board your rating regarding the cleanliness of the home and will feed this back to the housekeeping team. Despite our best efforts, it is inevitable that building dust settles during a period of refurbishment. May I also take this opportunity to say what a pleasure it is to be looking after and supporting your daughter. We are pleased to hear that she is happy most of the time, it is always difficult to come to terms with living away from home and living in residential services, however I am happy to hear that with staff support this is having a positive outcome.
Such positive changes!

Well done everyone.
