Having been hesitant about going he settled in very well and thoroughly enjoys all the varied activities, social events and outings. Recently, my father had a stroke and the care and support given to him and myself has been outstanding.

My husband has severe dementia and has been a resident for 4 years. I cannot fault this care home. The care and attention my husband receives is second to none. He is treated with respect and love by the staff. I am kept well informed of various situations that occur affecting my husband. I would also like to add that the staff are considerate and understanding with regard to my emotions connected with my husbands condition. Before I made a decision to choose The Royal Star & Garter I had in fact visited other care homes which frankly filled me with dread. I have never regretted my decision choosing RS & G.

Our 92 year old father who suffers from vascular dementia has been resident at the Royal Star & Garter for nearly 5 years now and I can honestly say that I cannot imagine a better care home. My dad's dementia means that he has no short-term memory at all and therefore is constantly lost and confused as to where he is and cannot make new friendships or relationships. Despite this, the staff show endless patience and kindness towards my dad treating him with utmost respect and care which has the result of making him feel relaxed and at ease. The staff have made the effort to learn my dad's 'ways' and adapt to them so that his experience of life is as pleasant and sociable as it possibly could be. From the management of the home, through the level of care given by the staff, the high standard of the rooms and interior, to the delicious food served. I cannot praise the Royal Star & Garter highly enough. Their communication with us the family is also excellent and extremely considerate
