As a visitor to two friends in residence, we find the premises bright and clean. The staff are caring and helpful. My only slight concern is the apparent time taken to respond to buzzers. It is clear that a great deal of care and attention is paid to the residents' needs, for comfort, entertainment and mental activity.
It was reassuring to be told when my mother came to live at Old Station House that barring serious illness, she would continue to be cared for at Old Station House until she died. We were particularly impressed by how thoughtfully and kindly she was cared for during the last few weeks of her life.
