My Sister is extremely well cared for by all the very hardworking Staff. She is very happy to be in the home & has a good relationship with all the Staff, who gout of their way to engage with her. She joins in on activities & was taken out recently for a day trip. Staff are very attentive to our needs as visitors, providing tea & coffee & sometime cake or biscuits. I have had a lot of experience of care Homes & find this 1 to be the most welcoming & friendly.
Many Thanks to all

I visit my friend weekly, and at each visit I am welcomed by staff with a lovely smile and request if I want a cup of tea and sometimes a cake. I notice with pleasure that residents will be taken outside in fresh air and sunshine, which is a great improvement than all sitting in a semicircle with no fresh air and TV blaring out. Something I notice patients being put to bed around 3 to help the staff. On the whole, a good care home.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for visiting your friend so regularly.
It's lovely to hear that you always receive such a warm welcome from the team. We're also pleased you've noticed residents spending more time outdoors enjoying the fresh air and sunshine whenever the weather allows. We know how much these moments can contribute to people's wellbeing.
Thank you also for your comment about residents spending time in their rooms during the afternoon. We understand how this may have appeared. Our aim is always to support residents according to their individual preferences and routines. Some people genuinely enjoy an afternoon rest or some quiet time in their room, while others prefer to stay in the communal areas or take part in activities. We always try to respect those individual choices rather than following a routine for the convenience of staff.
Thank you again for your kind words and for your continued support. We really appreciate your feedback

Their 'End of Life' care was exceptional towards my dad during his last weeks of illness before he died, for me and my family, that has given us enormous comfort during our grief.

This was Dads first time in a care home and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with this lovely home. The staff were extremely friendly, warm and welcoming. On our first visit with Dad we met the nurse in charge and she was so informative and kind and really understood Dad's needs. The day we left Dad we met the owner and many of the other staff, all were friendly and spoke to Dad directly. The home is small and cosy and is like a very comfortable Hotel. The menu is very good with lovely home made meals. Dad doesn’t eat much at home but really tucked into the meals during his stay. He said he really enjoyed his stay and was able to chat and have a laugh with the staff. His room was very clean and bright and a TV was organised for him for his stay.
We were extremely pleased with this home and will certainly look to use it again in the future for respite care.

My Aunt moved to this home in December very quickly following a deterioration in her physical health. She found this extremely distressing and grieved for her own home. Every member of staff has worked tirelessly to show her kindness, respect and cared for her as they would a family member. She is now much more settled and adapting to residential life.
I would not hesitate to recommend this outstanding care home to any of my friends family or acquaintances. They go over and above their expected care to provide a truly caring, empathetic environment. As a family, we can only say thank you so very much.
