When you enter the building, through the secure entry system, you are immediately greeted by a happy atmosphere. The staff seem happy in their work, there is laughter and an upbeat feel, there is a bustle of activity. Cleanliness is excellent and there is always something organised for residents which is on the go. This is a small intimate home, with a home from home feel. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home as being outstanding and a gem of a find.
