I visit my brother-in-law twice a week, sometimes 3 times, I take him for a walk, have a drink. I am always welcomed every time I go with smiles, and the staff are wonderful, they have looked after my brother-in-law. He's always dressed and ready to go. He always looks smart, shaved, hair cut. He likes to hug the staff. He always eats up and likes to join in the fitness classes and likes to join in the singing. So pleased he is here. He loves the hugs. Thank you.

So glad we found a place for Dad at The Rookery. It's such a homely and down-to-earth place. The staff treat residents like family and relatives are treated the same. It's not posh or clinical like some and it's altogether better for that. We can visit Dad whenever we want no appointment/time...
So glad we found a place for Dad at The Rookery. It's such a homely and down-to-earth place. The staff treat residents like family and relatives are treated the same. It's not posh or clinical like some and it's altogether better for that. We can visit Dad whenever we want no appointment/time limits (apart from after bedtime) and we are kept in the loop at all times. Perfect place for Dad, he loves it there.
Kind regards.
