My dad recently passed away at the home and our family can't thank the staff enough for the kind treatment, dignity and compassion at a very difficult time in his life. The staff made us feel very welcome every time we visited. We couldn't have wished for a better place for our dear dad to be.

Our father arrived at the home for end of life care so he was only here for a week before he died, but in that short time, I was amazed at the level of care and response from the staff. We were made to feel so welcome when visiting and everyone was so friendly. My father was very ill but received the best care they could provide for him whilst respecting his dignity and humanity. We were informed of any changes to his health and included in any pertinent care decisions where they thought it necessary. This made the last few days of his life so much easier. Other care homes should aspire to this. Thank you so much from me and my sister. You were brilliant!

We'd been desperate to get mum the right care for years, the fabulous social worker at the hospital helped us to find The Julie Richardson Nursing Home, we will be forever grateful. We couldn't have asked for more. Mum presented some difficulties but the care workers and nurses were so kind to her and we could all see that mum was happier than she had been for a long time. The level of care was second-to-none. Mum blossomed at Julie Richardson and although she only there for six months until she died, we never ever worried for her future again in those six months. Thank you to all at Julie Richardson, you are the best.
