Review from Sally (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 December 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum receives excellent care, understanding and help (when she requires it). All staff I have had contact with are extremely lovely people. My mum does 'get down' sometimes but there is always someone there to support her and give her a hug! The house is always clean and fresh and my mum's room is bright and airy. Her bathroom is always clean with fresh towels. The food always smells appetising and my mum is eating very well. She is allowed to eat in her room if she wishes. There are plenty of activities but my mum won't always join in (her choice) and she is not forced to. I live away from Barrow so don't see her as much as I'd like and although I'm always a little upset when I leave my mum, after spending the day with her but I know she will be well looked after.

Review from Lorraine R (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 16 November 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother in law has spent the last week in hospital which is very upsetting for her and her family, she had vascular dementia but she immediately recognised the staff that met her on her return to the home, they were fantastic with her and managed to settle her better than the hospital or the family could, they are just fantastic and the home has a real family atmosphere.

- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
