I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff involved in my fathers care throughout the recent fall and stroke diagnosis.The kindness, compassion and professionalism shown by each individual have been exceptional.The staff continued to support him with remarkable empathy, patience and dignity every day. What particularly stands out is seeing staff take the time to sit with my father when he was feeling anxious and confused following his stroke. The reassurance, kindness and patience they showed were invaluable. Not only to him but also our family. These small acts of kindness and genuine care make such a difference knowing he is being cared for by such dedicated individuals gives great peace of mind. Please pass on our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved. Their commitment and compassion are truly appreciated and make a real difference to my father's wellbeing.

My mother has been in the care home for almost 3 years. She settled in well and the staff were always courteous & helpful. However, more recently, I have had a concern regarding a lack of communication with regards to issues with Mam. I have not been informed of medical issues and previous requests for appointments to be made for Mam in relation to opticians and hairdressers have not been actioned. I do feel Mam receives good care and there are many activities to join in with.
