Lovely atmosphere in the home. Looked after very well and treated with great care and kindness. Lots of activities which or friend takes part in. She is well cared for, is clean, tidy and her clothes are washed nicely and she is dressed well. She is secure and safe and she and us couldn't be happier with her care in such lovely surroundings.

The building is decorated beautifully and is well equipped.
There aren't many residents yet and as such there aren't as many activities on as my nan would like, so I'm looking forward to seeing it grow.
The quality of food is outstanding.
Too early to give a constructive review as the home has only just opened, but am very impressed so far.

I have been working in the care sector for 20 years, qualifying in Cambridge and specialising in respiratory and end-of-life care. In my career so far, I have undertaken a wide variety of roles all over the country, including a care case manager for the East of England. I have also worked for the prison service, a wide range of hospitals and care homes, and people with challenging behaviour. I have also been awarded an Accreditation ‘Bronze’ in Nutrition and Dietetics.
I started work with Care UK in September 2014, and I believe that to be an effective team member, you need to have a positive attitude, be caring, respectful and approachable, and have a good sense of humour!
My favourite part of the working day is motivating the staff to ensure the residents are the main focus, creating memorable moments, laughter, and joy. My biggest professional challenge so far has been saving a person's life and then continuing to watch them grow and flourish.
In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, spa days and have a huge interest in guide dogs and caring for animals.
