Every kindness is shown by each one of them.
Recently on my brothers birthday a cake was produced and all the staff sang Happy Birthday to him.
They truly care, so maybe the carpets are worn is that more important than the atmosphere and attention given to the residents and visitors. God bless them all.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you appreciate the dedication of our care staff and will make sure to mention your kind comments to them. Creating a welcoming and comfortable environment is our top priority, and our upcoming improvements will include the installation of new carpets where necessary.
Tamar House is a peaceful and happy house with lots of laughter. From the owners to the care staff, the cooks and the cleaner I found them all to be kind patient and caring. I can never thank them enough for the fantastic quality of care they gave to our aunt in her twilight years.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your thoughtful and kind words. All the staff at Tamar House strive to provide the best care and support for our residents and their families. We are so grateful to hear that we have achieved this. We will share your comments with our staff as your aunt was very dear to us all. Thanks again.
