Overall Experience

These comments refer to ALL the staff - catering, carers, nurses, admin, hairdressers, pinks, domestic staff, agency staff, maintenance, day staff, night staff, every single one them. Our hearts are aching at the loss of our beautiful mum, and yet at the same time they are bursting with joy for the care, comfort and pure love they have shown to her and to us, in the 9 short months that they have had her in their care. We will never forget every single one of them who came into contact with our precious mum.
