Thank you so much for your wonderful review Stephen. It is so nice to hear that your families first impressions of the service are positive. I will certainly share your feedback with the team as it makes such a difference to morale when they hear words like 'committed' 'very warm' and 'caring'. It is of particular importance when this feedback is received from the families of the residents. We look forward to continue working with you in the best interests of mum.
