Over all time Leger Grove has 1 review.
She needs 1:1 specialist care, and the staff have been absolutely amazing . They offer a high standard of person centred care they are supportive, patient, so kind and genuinely caring. They truly understand mums needs They listen to any suggestions we may have and always want to work together to get things right for mum.
The home itself is beautiful always spotless, calm and welcoming, with lovely gardens which help with mums well being.
The only small thing that seems to be finding its balance is the food, sometimes it's great sometimes not quite as consistent. Although I'm confident this will improve.
Overall I am grateful to everyone at leger grove for the care and warmth they have shown mum it's such a relief to know she is being well looked after with kindness and dignity. I would highly recommend leger grove.
