My mother has been at this home since it opened. It has seen several changes of manager and ownership. On entering the home I was assured and had it in writing that when mums money ran out we would not be liable for "topping up" social service rates. When the latest people took over and when mum's money ran down to government minimum they asked us as family to "top up" her weekly/monthly money and they stated they had no record of a written letter. Fortunately, I did! We do not have to top up. Overall care has improved, carers seem "kinder" to my mum and more tolerant of her needs.
Warm, friendly atmosphere. Caring and helpful staff. Clean rooms and good home cooked food.
