Review from Lakhvinder K (Resident) published on 1 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I would recommend this care home as majority of the staff are friendly, caring and treat you with dignity and also the Management are fair, in treating the staff and residents with their best interest at all times.


I would recommend the home for people with physical disabilities and muscle wasting

conditions not just learning disabilities and mental health illnesses.


The only recommendation I would make to improve the home is that residents have access to Wi-Fi.
