Review from Allison F (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 April 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother stayed here for 2 weeks respite after a stay in hospital and the care she received was excellent. The staff were always there for her and also even though they were busy they always had time to talk to the family. Mum said the food was excellent and tasted lovely.

- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.

- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
