My grandmother has been in Kirkby house for 2 years and I can honestly say we couldn't pick a better home for her. The staff, the atmosphere and just everything about it is outstanding. I know my nan is in the best care and she is so happy there. The place is always immaculate and the staff are on hand with any needs of the residents. Residents are treated with dignity and respect every time I have ever visited the home. I would honestly recommend Kirkby house to everyone I ever meet. Our family will forever be grateful for what they do for my nan.

Mum loves the ducks and garden and seems very happy with the staff and is chatting to the other residents....
