My mum in law has been a resident at Cranford Care Centre for approximately 19 months. Each and every member of staff has treated her with dignity and care. I cannot praise the staff highly enough. As a retired nurse, I know how demanding a job it can be. Everyone works as a team. Well done!

I was very impressed with the facilities on offer at this care home. On talking with staff and management who were very friendly and described how everything worked seemed well organised from the care and support down to meals and activities and safety and security. Rooms were very spacious and clean and had everything close to hand you needed.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Pamela M (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 31 August 2016. Relates to August 2016.
My sister and I dropped in at Cranford Care Centre without an appointment and were welcomed with warmth, respect and kindness. We were shown around the home and facilities. The lady who showed us around made sure that we were able to see all aspects of the home and she answered all of our questions with openness. She explained the process regarding admission to the home and immediately made us feel that relatives were welcome and encouraged to be part of the care home family.
I am unable to comment personally on the care in the home, but I wanted to comment on the aspects that I did observe on our visit such as cleanliness which is very good and especially the immediate impression that we were made welcome as visitors and that the questions answered and involvement regarding relatives was part of the homes ethos.
