Over all time Senwick House has 1 review.
Senwick House... I can highly recommend for its care and values towards their residents. The feeling when you enter the house is one of homeliness and a happy family place to reside! Recent refurbishments creating a large sun lounge and external outside rooftop balcony simply gives residents more space to enjoy and relax in. Thought is put into making residents daily life as comfortable and active as possible. Staff and management all take an involved role in the residents care . People are regarded as individuals. Care plans reflect that fact. Here people are not simply existing, living out their final years ..... they are actively encouraged and loved. That makes this residence, in my opinion, stand out from others I looked at in this beautiful area for my precious Mother. Thank you all!!
