Review from Ann B (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 August 2015 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We as a family have had an excellent experience here. The management and carers are professional, knowledgably and very caring to residents and visitors alike. The facilities and activities are excellent, plentiful and well run and there are many communal areas to suit individual needs. A care home is never going to be quite like a private home (living in your own home) but I'd say this is as close as it gets.
