Thank you so much for these lovely comments about your Mum-in-law's party at York House.
Our overall experience at York House is very good. The carers are excellent and always available should we need help or advice. The only problem we have is how long we have to wait to be let in however we fully understand this is due to safety reasons.

My mother has been a resident of this care home since December and I cannot praise them enough for their support, care and patience during this time. She suffers with very bad anxiety and needs constant reassurance with this. The manager has been very supportive of her and makes every effort to reassure when she is like this. The rest of the staff are also always willing to assist her and encourage her in her day to day life. I am very impressed with daily entertainment which they all seem to enjoy and it makes the residents lifes more fulfilling. I would highly recommend this care home.
Thank you for your kind comments , I will ensure these are passed on to the staff at York House .
