The family are able to visit at any time and can go off to the kitchen and make ourselves a tea or coffee. These two (what could be classed as) minor things make life for our family.

We try and create an environment that supports residents and families to feel like this in their home, and we are happy that you find the visiting times and tea and coffee facilities make your life easier during your mother’s stay.
