The staff have done a great job in looking after my brother, he has Alzheimer's and is often very agitated but is very happy in the Admirals Reach environment.

My Mother-in-law has been a resident for a couple of months now. We have noticed a change in her. She is interacting with staff and residents, very chatty now. She looks well, clean and always well dressed. Her regular medication is also obvious to see. Her room is excellent. Staff seem very knowledgeable and caring.
Only had 3 days but everything seems extremely good. Food looks nice and appetising. Not had any other experiences like this but it's better than expected.

The staff are very kind to all patients but also very kind to our mother. We bought her new clothing and these were put on right away. Mum is also very clean and taken care of. Mum seems happy where she is. No concerns. If I mention something it is taken care of.

I find the home to be fantastic. Staff are 100% caring and it feels like a true "home". My dad is happy, safe and very carefully cared for.
