This home is superb. Their standard of care and the attention they pay to residents can't be underestimated. They have taken my dad under their wing and look after him as if he was one of the family. All the staff care greatly about the residents and want the best for them. Emma and Marie do a great job of leading the home. Shirley, Becky, Elsie, Krish, Jerry, Molly and Priya as well as all the other carers all take such great care and attention and have real affection for my dad. Losing his wife and then his dementia worsening has been hard on him but they all make him feel a part of everything and let him sing and dance to keep his spirits up. I'd recommend Florence Grogan to anyone looking for a real personal touch to their loved ones care.

My Mum has been at "FloGro" for over three years now and I have always been extremely impressed with the care she receives there.
The staff are caring and thoughtful; always bringing her the extra mugs of tea and favourite treats she loves so much. She is treated with dignity in terms of personal care and respect of her wishes.
There's a great range of imaginative activities. Recently they've been entertained by a Roman centurion, an Irish dancer and an Elvis impersonator. As well as regular crafts, music and dancing. Mum particularly enjoys the inter generational sessions when tiny nursery age children come in to do joint musical activities with the residents.
The building is always clean and well run.
I've visited fancier care homes but they didn't feel like home. FloGro feels like a real home and my Mum (who was adamant she was never going into a home and isn't the easiest person to please) feels settled, happy, safe and at home there.

My sister was welcomed into Florence Grogan House last year after a very upsetting year both physically and mentally. The staff have been wonderful in that she is now able to function in a way which she finds quite acceptable.
