Care home is absolutely fabulous and all the staff are helpful, kind, nothing is a bother at all, my dad is very happy here and most importantly he feels safe. It's like a 5-star hotel rather than a care home. Thank you all for looking after my dad.

Thank you so much for taking the time to complete this glowing review. We are absolutely delighted to receive such positive comments from you. It is an absolute pleasure to be part of your Father's daily life.
The home itself is bright, fresh and looks welcoming. The staff are very helpful and friendly. They are taking good care of my dad putting in measures to let them know when he is on the move (fall risk, no dementia) as he is reluctant to use his call button. The food seems varied and balanced.

My mother, who will be 97 in January has been in the home for 9 years. Although getting on in years, she is always cheerful when we visit. The staff at the home are very caring and could not do enough for you. The new covid designated visitor suite is very comfortable, under the circumstances, but it does allow us to see our loved ones. Hopefully, things will get back to normal in 2021.
Thank you Peter for taking the time to submit this wonderful review, it is appreciated by all of us and your mother is an absolute joy to care for. We are pleased you are enjoying the visiting suite and hopefully as you say we can return to some normality this year. Always here for your mother and yourself. Take care.
The staff are lovely and caring. How they have managed to keep Covid-19 out of the home is amazing. My aunt was, and is, being very well looked after. I have no worries about her.

During the lockdown period, the staff of this care home have been excellent in contacting me and keeping me updated with photos and a lovely card with my husband's photo on it. The visit today has been very rewarding for us to see him in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the lovely garden.

When my mam was living at the home and deteriorating with her dementia the whole family were under extreme stress and worry.
