My husband suffers from advanced Alzheimer’s disease and before coming to Old Wall Cottage was frequently upset, agitated and difficult to care for. The calm, kind and professional approach of the staff quickly allowed him to settle and behavioural issues are no longer a problem. He is now able to enjoy his meals and the gentle daily routine. I feel confident that he is comfortable and well cared for.

My stepmother in law has lived at Old Wall Cottage since January 2016. She lives with mixed Dementia and is quite strong-willed so can be tricky to manage at times but the staff at Old Wall have always treated her with kindness and compassion. They are patient and very good at gently distracting her from things that might upset or agitate. I am very grateful to the staff for looking after her so well as we live over an hour away but have confidence and reassurance that they are caring for her well.
