The care that my mother-in-law gets in Appletree Grange is unbelievable. The staff from top to bottom are so proffesional. They treat our family as though they are there own. The difference in my mother in law since she went in is amazing. She has put weight on, doesn't mention being ill anymore. The heat that the staff have to work in is so hard and when me as a visitor is only there a little time finds hard you never hear or see the staff moaning. Please give recognition to them all, Gail x
