When viewing the home with my brother when mum had to go into care first, we noticed how bright and clean the home was and how fresh it smelt. All the chairs were comfy and the residents weren't all sat around in a circle, instead chairs were placed in several seating areas around the home both up and downstairs. Mum has been there for 7 and a half years now. The home has been refurbished and redecorated to a high standard. The butterflies on the walls are a lovely touch. Staff are always friendly, always very approachable and treat residents with dignity. Activities for residents are varied, entertainment well provided, there's always something going on. The mats as you go in the door reads "staff work in the residents home, not residents live in staff workplace". A lovely sentiment and testimony to all, led by a good manager that is passionate and caring. Well done everyone!!
