As a family, we cannot fault the care that my grandma has received in the last 8 weeks. They have improved her life. So much by providing her incredible care but allowing her to still have her own freedom. The home is so clean and the staff care for her with the utmost respect.

My parents have both settled in really well and all the staff are caring and attentive. They have lots of activities to keep residents entertained. The food choice is amazing. The rooms are unbelievable and like home from home and are kept very clean by the hardworking cleaners.

Absolutely wonderful care home, I dreaded putting Mum and Dad into a home after having full-time care in their own home, failed. The staff are amazing, so caring and professional, who regularly go above and beyond. Mum and Dad have improved so much whilst there, the building is immaculate, so cosy and spotlessly clean. Mum and Dad love the food too, very good quality. It's great to see them smiling again after so long. Five stars all the way.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm sure the manager and the whole team will be touched to read your comments.

I cannot thank the whole team for the jobs they do in looking after my father.
They are always available to chat.
It is definitely a home from home.

All precautions taken against infection were very good indeed. Cleanliness - very good indeed. As a patient needing very little actual care I could only see from observation that patients were very helpfully treated often under very trying circumstances.
