Keate House is well led and well run and maintains a consistently high standard of care and attention to their residents, including individual preferences for culinary and social activities. Keate House attends to the individual health needs of all residents, supported by their good access to and communications with local surgeries. Keate House works hard at providing a varying programme of social activities to which all residents are encouraged to join whenever they wish.
The Keate House staff are notable for their good humour, approachability, efficiency, and for providing the easy-going and 'family-feel' ambience within the house.
