Many thanks for your feedback and I am so pleased that you felt that the staff at Abbotsleigh looked after your mum so well. It is an extremely stressful time when you realise that your loved one needs to be cared for in a nursing home and the selection of the right care home is so important to all concerned. I am so pleased that Alina and her staff made this experience less daunting and a success.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent experience of the service we provide. I am delighted that you were so satisfied and it is wonderful to know that the staff at Abbotsleigh made such a difference to your family. Your comments and ratings will be shared with the staff to ensure they are aware of how well they have done and to give them the praise they deserve.
Many thanks once again.
Dear Jackie, what a wonderful review, thank you so much. Having someone dear to you admitted to a care home is such a difficult transition with many emotions and reservations especially when it has been an unplanned change of events such as a hospital admission. I am so pleased that the staff at Abbotsleigh appear to have made your experience and hopefully that of your mum as smooth and reassuring as possible. We continually strive to provide a service that is as near perfect as possible and your feedback is invaluable in measuring how well we are doing and it gives me great pleasure to feedback this detail to the staff who make it all happen.
Kind regards Alison Ruddock

The reviews are so valuable in helping us measure our outcomes, develop our services and feedback to the staff what a difference they can make to someone's life. If you have any suggestions that we could consider that would increase the current scoring even further I would welcome your input.
