My sister needs help with walking, getting up out of a chair, showering etc. and often has confusion and incontinence. The staff at the care home are lovely and caring and understand what she needs and have enabled her to recover in a safe and homely environment. She wasn't well enough to join in with all the activities but really enjoyed it when the singer came in. She loves the companionship of the other residents. Her room is a single room without an ensuite, but it has been re-decorated and is a nice room. She enjoys the lovely home-cooked meals and if there is anything she doesn't like she is given an alternative. It's also great that the hairdresser and chiropodist come in to provide these services. I can't praise the care home and the staff enough and I know my sister is very happy and settled there. My brother and I are very relieved that she is being cared for so well and do not need to worry about her anymore. We visit every week and are made to feel very welcome.
All staff are very good, caring, friendly and look after my father very well. The care home is very nicely decorated and clean. I am very happy and content that my father is there. I know he his being looked after really well and that I don't worry as much.

I would highly recommend this care home. My mum has been a resident since December 2019. The staff are caring and kind and my mum has settled really well.
