My 97 year old mother initially went for six week respite care in September 2015 and then stayed on as we could not cope with her night wandering and falls. She gradually went downhill and died there April 2016. There were a few hiccups but whenever there were problems over lost glasses/not adjusted hearing aids etc. The staff were apologetic, open and sorted things out. My mother went through black days when she thought everyone was against her, imagining things but they dealt with this with patience and tact. As she went downhill in the final 10 days they all excelled in their care, nothing was too much trouble. Visitors were made welcome with coffee and biscuits all hours. The garden room was beautiful, sunny, clean with wonderful views. The rooms tended, pretty sheets, her favourite dog visiting her. It was what any daughter would love for their mothers last days.

My mother died on Saturday, she died within 5 hours of my being called and advised to come. The Care lovingness, thoughtfulness was second to none. What could have been a horrendous experience was made as lovely as possible. I could not have wished for anything more to have been done. My mother's wish was to die at the home ans this was fulfilled. A wonderful place to end your days.

I want to draw your attention to the outstanding, sympathetic, supportive help my aunt receives from so many of the care staff during this anxious period.
They so obviously enjoy their responsibilities and carry them out as a caring team.
