Review from Michelle J (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother has been at Holy Cross for just over 2 years. After having a stroke and losing feeling in her left side, also being unable to speak. She was very sad and tearful. The staff at Holy Cross have worked miracles. Mum is so happy now and the staff understand her needs very well. She joins in with all activities with the help of the staff. Mum had sepsis 12 months ago a big thank you to the staff for spotting it early with a good outcome. I would gladly recommend Holy Cross to anyone.

Review from S M (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother has now been in Holy Cross 18 months. I cannot thank the staff enough for the care and kindness shown to mum. All the staff, management, carers, housekeeping, admin, all display friendliness and warmth towards the residents. The carers are warm and considerate when helping the residents with their daily routine, all respecting the resident's dignity. I cannot thank Holy Cross enough for their support.
