We visited many care home in our search for a "new family" to support us care for mum. As soon as we entered The Martins we were welcomed by caring, friendly staff who were genuinely interested in hearing about mum. We could see happy and active residents and the atmosphere was relaxed and has a "warmth". Mum is now resident and has settled well to a new part of the country and to a new situation she did not expect to find herself in, that is due to the care, professional and support of everyone who works there.
Thank you for taking the time to feedback your experience of The Martins. I am so pleased to hear that the atmosphere at the Home as been happy and relaxed with the staff taking the time to get to know you and your Mum. I will ensure that your comments are shared with the team.
