I have been on respite care for a week. The staff are very tentative, nothing is too much trouble day or night. It is very clean, domestics do a good job. Washing is taken most nights and bought back the next day. Overall it has been an enjoyable stay. I would recommend it.

What a wonderful place. Lots of staff are all very knowledgeable about dementia. Very clean and all my father's needs have been met. The care in this home is superb. My father is kept very clean and all his clothes are freshly clean. His bedding is always fresh and clean. He eats all his meals and is offered food that he is known to prefer. When I phone the care home the call is answered straight away and they always have time to chat.
