Review from J J (Wife of Resident) published on 22 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
As a family, we find the standard of care very good overall.
Nursing is of a very high standard, all the staff being very attentive to the residents' needs.
On entering Orchid Lawns you will see the décor on the walls.
The activities person gets the residents involved with helping her, it's amazing how many ways and ideas she gets them to work with her.

Also talented people from the musical world to entertain residents, visitors and dare I say staff to enjoy.
