After being told by hospital doctors I had a condition in both legs which could lead to gangrene and amputation. I didn't want any of my three sons and their partners to have the responsibility of caring for me so I applied here in Connaught Court, and although I am still relatively fit, no one knows what's around the corner, you can see by the ratings I have given for Connaught Court what I think of this care home!
Totally excellent experience in a caring home for 4 and a half years.
