My experience as well as from other visitors has been that the staff working here looking after people can only be described as exceptional. They always seem to have the ability to go above and beyond what most people would expect. Also very friendly.

From the very first time we arrived for my husband's day care sessions we felt looked after. The staff are so friendly and make you feel included in any decisions. He seems to enjoy being there. We have decided to do a weeks respite care so will see how he gets on with that.

You took him on a trip to the garden centre, which he really enjoyed - more trips like this would be good.

My mother went to end of life care recently and passed away. The staff were faultless in their care, attitude and professionalism in dealing with my mother. Thank you all for every thing you have done over the last 18 months. Thank you.

My husband looks well care for on my regular visits. Any concerns that I may have and discuss with the staff are responded to in a positive way. The staff are kind and caring to the residents. One a negative note, I was disappointed to see the lounge carpet replaced with hard flooring. I understand the reasons, but the homely feel has been lost and the look is more institutional.

Being the Registered Manager of Cary Brook is such a rewarding and interesting role, and it truly is a privilege to care for and get to know our residents who are living with dementia.
