My Dad has been a resident at Dovedale Court for the past four years. It is such a fantastic place with the most caring and attentive staff.
The facilities are great with lovely gardens, rooms and communal areas.
The staff are amazingly professional but also loving and caring.
The activities are frequent and varied, with parties, singers, animals and trips a plenty. When they identify a particular passion, they try to fill it, taking residents, bowling or to bike events or gardens.
Dad has unfortunately had to move to a nursing home due to increased needs and the team helped find and vet a place, helped negotiate a room and have visited him at his new home.
We simply could not have managed the past four years without them.
All the staff have been superb and it feels unfair to single any of them out but three members of staff deserve particular mention.
Thank you so much for all you have done x
