Everyone is welcoming.My mum has been at the home for nearly 2years and has always been well looked after, they have many activities that the residents can attend and enjoy, they have outings, disco's, birthday parties for residents to celebrate. Plus much much more. From cleaners to cooks to nursing staff each member of the team are outstanding within their rolls at the home. All residents are always happy. I know my mum is always looked after and never have to worry.

Thank you for your kind words. We're glad to hear your mum is well looked after and content at Florence Grogan House.
Excellent experience. Kindness, courtesy, thoughtfulness. I was impressed with how the more 'difficult' residents were respected and treated. There was a great 'informal' but very professional attitude. Standards are very high. Food excellent. Respectful atmosphere.

I was really apprehensive about my 96 year old dad going into a care home when he could no longer care for himself at home. I needn't have worried because the care he receives is exceptional. The staff are all very professional, well led by an excellent management team.

When I walk into Florence Grogan you feel at home. All the staff including management make me feel welcome. The home smells clean and all the residents who I speak to are very happy. My ex husbands Nan has been in Florence Grogan since November 2023 and I can honestly say I've never seen her so happy. When I come to visit the staff offer my a hot drink and can not do enough. The care staff are so attentive to all the residents which is amazing to see.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear that Florence Grogan feels like home and your Nan is so happy here. Our team strives to create a warm, welcoming, and caring environment for all residents. We appreciate your support.
I find most of the staff pleasant and polite but there is an exception. I visit a lady who is elderly and she is very happy with the care she receives but will always say that the majority of carers (staff) are good with her and have time for her but there are exceptions.

When I stayed the night before her passing, a staff member finished work and came back with tea for myself and my husband - so kind and thoughtful. I will always be in debt to these lovely people who make a real heart-felt difference in difficult times. You are all truly amazing, and it needs recognising.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of your mum, and our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family during this difficult time. We're grateful for the trust you and your family have placed in us. I will forward your sentiment to the home team.
