Wade Centre Reviews (2)
Over all time Wade Centre has 2 reviews.
A lovely centre, with a wonderful, warm, welcoming, and friendly staff, and I look forward to placing my mother in their care in the future.
Non-compliance to provide formal complaint details. Extremely rude staff and very argumentative regarding appropriate care. Staff prefer to sit around and chat amongst themselves and eat food than attend to residents in their care.
