Although there was never any nursing care offered, the end of life care given was so good, with such care and compassion, that it could not be improved on.
I am so grateful for all the things that made my aunt's last days less of an ordeal.

My uncle has been a resident in this home for over 6 and a half years and the care and support he received was excellent. The manager and team of staff work tirelessly to ensure all the residents are happy and my uncle was very content and happy. The patience, care and professionalism of the staff make the home special and the residents feel safe and well cared for. I visited regularly over the years and many staff have been there throughout that time. The food is excellent and there is always a good choice. I would definitely recommend the home.

When visiting my mother, the staff are always friendly and helpful. My mother cannot say enough about the carers/staff, they are all very kind and caring to her and she says we couldn't have found a better care home for her.

All really nice.

Just to say what a lovely care home. We looked at a few homes for my mother for her dementia but found this home very friendly. Staff and especially the care manager and the service they provide i.e. food, entertainment and a lovely clean environment to be living in. Her room is very clean and tidy. My mother feels safe and secure. This was a very hard decision to make for my mother but the home made it very easy for us to accept. We enjoy visiting her.

I think this is an excellent home. Most of the residents seem happy and contented and speak cheerfully to you. There is no smell of urine, the whole place seems spotlessly clean. The nursing staff are caring, friendly and helpful.
