From the first visit to the care home I have been impressed with everything about the home. All of the staff without exception are courteous and friendly. Everyone, residents and staff use christian names. The rooms are clean and tidy, residents are able to personalise their rooms with personal belongings. My wife has a wonderful relationship with the staff. The unit has everything residents require. A beautiful small dining room is a highlight. The meals are always of a high standard. I visit regularly at all times of the day and am greeted by a happy caring and knowledgeable staff. There is always lots going on, from arm chair exercises, craft work, entertainment and trips out. There is something for everyone. I am delighted with the care my wife receives and can recommend it unconditionally.
All staff treat mum with care and affection. Standards of cleanliness are excellent. Mum enjoys the food and has choice. She also enjoys the activities on offer and joins in whenever she can. The home has a lovely atmosphere and mum has been happy for the two and a half years she has been there.

My mother has been a resident for six months and I cant praise the staff highly enough. They are always smiling and you can see the rapport they have with the residents. They are very patient even with the residents who are confused. The manager is very approachable and reassuring and make families welcome. Food is excellent - so much so that my mother has put on weight. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home.

We cannot fault the quality of care, the environment and facilities offered to Mum for just over four months until she passed away earlier this month. Staff were caring and compassionate; Mum was treated as a special individual and we as a family felt included in all decisions about her care and treatment. Sadly she was too ill to enjoy much of the food on offer; the menus would not have been out of place in a 5 star hotel! Her room was spacious and comfortable and we thank everyone involved in looking after her.
