My mother in law has been in Craigend Gardens for just over a year now and the family are very happy that she is in such a good and caring environment. My mother in law has always been a nervous and anxious person. The staff are all extremely kind and caring and they manage to comfort her and settle her. We are happy that there is plenty of activities and I know the staff try to encourage her to join in. Taking everything into consideration - food, activities and attention and dedicated staff - we see that we are comforted knowing she is happy and safe.
