I am writing on behalf of my husband who has recently been in your care home for respite. I and my husband found all of the staff to be friendly and very helpful, they made him welcome, made sure he had a very comfortable seat in front of the telly, brought him in his paper every day as he can't get
around on his own. TV and his paper for crossword are very important to him, also a member of staff took him out in his wheelchair and told him about the history of the local town. My husband also enjoyed the food very much, especially the home baking. He asked me to book him another week in October as he enjoyed his stay so much. Thank you so much to all the staff for looking after my husband so well, you all deserve five stars, in my husband's words, he was treated like a lord.

My mother has now been a resident for a year and can honestly say, we, as a family are extremely happy with the care she is receiving.
She is always clean and dressed well, her hair is tidy on the days she has agreed to have it done. Being a dementia sufferer, 'not today' means 'not today'. There is
regular entertainment for residents and fun days where the family are made very welcome.
The home itself may not be of today's standards being built in the 70s, but it is warm with friendly staff and management.
