I can’t thank you enough for looking after my mum. She was transferred from hospital until her care package was ready. She stayed for two weeks with you and was so well cared for. Once again thank you so much

Overall Experience
To all staff at McKillop Gardens, I just want to put on record the absolutely amazing way you have all handled the Coronavirus outbreak. At the start of the outbreak, I feared the worst, knowing if this virus spread into care homes how grave the situation could be. This has indeed been the case in several homes. However, from the very start, McKillop Gardens has dealt with this issue in the most professional and caring way. It is a credit to every single person employed there that things are going so well. Although staff are busy with their never-ending daily routines, they have still managed time to keep me up to date with my father's progress and have even found the time to let me speak to him on facetime. This has been great for me to be able to see him. I cannot thank the staff enough for all they have and continue to do, not just in the present situation but on a daily basis. Yours gratefully.
