A truly welcoming and caring home. The management team and staff were always kind to residents and always mindful of the resident's needs and preferences, treating them with dignity and respect at all times. They treated the family of residents with kindness and respect, were always polite and engaging. Activities were frequent for residents both in and out of the home and inclusive of relatives. I would have no hesitation in recommending Friary House for residential care.
My Mother was a resident at Friary House. The staff were always friendly and went above and beyond for my mother. The home is clean. The food is all home cooked and the cakes lovely.

My Godmother has been extremely happy living at Friary House since she moved there in July 2018. She is very happy with all aspects of her care, as am I. The staff are friendly, welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. We couldn't find a better home for her.

Friary House is homely, the staff are friendly. The rooms are always clean and my friend has become a lot happier since she moved in over a year ago. It's good to know the care in the home has made an improvement to her well being.

My mother has been here for about 6 years. Her health has deteriorated over the years due to her dementia. All this time, even when her mental health was challenging, she has been treated with kindness respect and dignity. A very homely residence.
