The Owls has a Review Score of 8.8 (8.792) out of 10, based on 2 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time The Owls has 3 reviews.
The Owls staff and services are exceptional. My auntie is very well cared for and treated with respect. Everyone is kind, thoughtful and most importantly loving. A home you can trust to place your family/friend where you can be assured they will be safe and well looked after.
The staff are all very caring, and respectful to all the residents, there is always much laughter within the home and all the residents seem very happy there.
The staff are amazing, caring and compassionate. There’s lots for the residents to do, quizzes, singers etc! There’s a hairdresser that goes in. I would highly recommend The Owls!
