Currently, the care home is going through many changes including a change to management and staff. Hopefully for the better in some ways. My grandma is happy there but I am never 100% happy with all care, always have to keep checking e.g. my gran always has really dirty hands so hygiene care is always questionable. She is rarely taken out or any activities going on to keep her mood happy. Care staff try their best to get things right but a number of times they are understaffed (this has started to improve I think).
The home is spotlessly clean. Since my mother entered the home, she has been treated with nothing but kindness and considerate. The staff and facilities are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble.
