My visits so far have been met with courtesy and professionalism and the home display a caring and happy environment. One area for possible improvement would be the entry system; I was stuck between the main entrance doors and reception for over 5 minutes on my latest visit due to nobody in reception; this is understandable on occasion but not really acceptable when fob entry is common in care homes
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your kind comments about the courtesy, professionalism, and caring environment within our home. We are pleased to hear that your visits have been positive overall.

He is well cared for with personal care and always looks clean and tidy compared to some previous experiences
He has a brain injury resulting in challenging behaviour and we have seen a huge improvement which I didn't expect
For the first time in four years I can leave my son and I don't have any worries
The senior nurses contact me with regular updates . The staff sometimes take him out to the shops
His room is always clean and the meals are fresh and varied
He feels safe and secure
I am so grateful that my 47 year old son is living his life in The Burren
