Thank you for your lovely comments about the 100th birthday party at York House - we're pleased you enjoyed yourselves.
My Aunts 100 Birthday celebration was a great success due to the dedication of all the staff. The chef provided food which was exceptional which would be served in a 5 star hotel. The on duty carers looked after us all whilst still performing their other duties. My Aunt had a lovely time.

At the time I felt guilty but now I see she has care of the highest standard. She also has company all the time and is safe and well fed. The home has a lovely atmosphere and all the carers are amazing.

The manager and staff at York House are always very welcoming when we arrive. The home is clean and very pleasant to look at. The staff are friendly and always offer drinks and snacks. The Christmas Party was exceptional in entertainment, atmosphere and food provided. We were sorry that we could not accept their invitation to go for Christmas lunch.
Dad looked forward to his stay there over New Year's while we visited family further away than he can now travel.
Dad's respite stays there mean that we get to relax and recharge the batteries knowing that he will be cared for at the highest standard. He always likes to know the next dates that he will be back before he leaves!
A lovely home with lovely people.
