Overall Experience
Well, all I can say is that myself and my partner have the highest praise and dedication of care that was displayed at Dalweem. My aunt was there for a couple of years and although she was challenging due to her illness, the staff handled her well and were very empathic and we were very pleased with the care and support. From management and all the carers keep up the great work. I couldn’t highly recommend this home enough wish they had homes like this in London.
