My great aunt is a resident here and she absolutely loves it. The home is beautiful and all the staff are so kind and caring. Everyone makes her feel so at home and take care to attend to her specific needs. She is always entertained and especially enjoys the Christmas coffee morning, which we also love - although we never win the tombola!! She absolutely loves the food and never has had one complaint about it. I could not recommend this home any more and would never trust anyone other than Brighterkind to look after my aunty!

The staff in the care home are lovely and are always cheery. They look after my mother-in-law, keeping her safe and well fed. She has company from the other residents rather than being isolated at home.
