From the first time we visited the home to look around, we realised that it had a whole different feel to it. The home is small with only around 20 residents and it very much has the feel of a private house. The staff have all been there for many years and are really committed to the home and to providing a high level of care. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and there is a lot going on every day.
The home is not smart but it is very clean and homely and the care is wonderful, we spoke with several residents who all praised the staff and the home. My Mum is settling in and is getting used to her new environment, it isn't easy but we feel we have good communication with the staff and they are doing everything they can to help my Mum. The staff are warm and compassionate but are also fun and they have a joke with the residents.
My two very dear lady friends are always clean and tidy, with clean clothes and good food and have hair set and nails painted and mostly have a carer when they call who comes within 5 minutes during daytime but much less at night.

My aunt has been here for nearly 9 years and is very content. She feels safe and secure in a home which treats her as a person and with dignity. Nothing is too much trouble.

A real home from home. The atmosphere is welcoming, plenty of activities for those who wish to partake and the care and carers are second to none and worth their weight in gold.

I have worked in health and social care for over 17 years, and during that time I have had the privilege of supporting many wonderful people, families and care teams. For more than a decade, I have worked in management and leadership roles across residential, dementia and learning disability services.
For me, good care is about much more than meeting someone’s needs. It is about getting to know the person, understanding what is important to them and making sure they feel safe, respected and genuinely at home.
As a manager, I like to be visible and approachable, and I enjoy spending time with residents, relatives and colleagues. I believe the best homes are built around strong relationships, open communication and a team that genuinely cares about the people they support.
I am passionate about continually improving the quality of care we provide while ensuring that residents and their families have a voice in how our home develops. I aim to create a welcoming community where people can continue to live their lives in the way they choose and where families can feel confident that their loved ones are in caring hands.
