Review from Pearl D (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Homely atmosphere, with excellent levels of care and cleanliness. A homely feeling always made to feel welcome.
Could be more activities but a new activity coordinator has been appointed and is including many of the residents who are unable to go out with relatives and walk along the river near the home, which they appear to enjoy.

Review from Thomas G (Husband of Resident) published on 16 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
This is a small home not the most luxurious but homely with individual rooms with en-suite facilities, residents are encouraged to have personal items of furniture, pictures, photographs. My wife has been I residence for five years staff are friendly and very caring both qualified and assistants and has very little staff turnover. The home is beside a river and woodland park on the edge of town and has 42 residents. It accommodates an excellent range of conditions from physical to quite severe dementia in a homely setting.

Review from R H (Son of Resident) published on 25 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Have found on occasion that something requested by myself relating to my mother has not been addressed and have to bring it to their attention again at some later date. Overall staff are very good. Some communal areas I feel could do with freshening up e.g. paintwork and blinds sometimes look in disarray which gives a bad impression when driving into the grounds of the home!!
