I had three days in the home and found it to be clean, comfortable with the staff they were most accommodating. In fact I will readily go there again should the need arise.
Essential in helping us through an unknown and difficult period. Nursing staff supportive in all aspects. My father was able to return to independent living after 3 months of their support while he went through chemotherapy at the age of 79. His circumstances didn't make him a typical resident so it is hard to review some categories: Food (taste and appetite not good), Activities and Facilities (generally he just wanted to rest but enjoyed the open day and met with relatives in the conservatory). Will consider for the future if necessary. Thank you.
