My room is large, bright & clean.
When there are activities they let me know and I choose whether to join in I enjoy excersize & meditation.
I have a gluten free diet, the food is excellent & all suitable for my diet.
I'm settled & happy here.
Our mum has been in this excellent care home since 2019. She absolutely loves it. Knowing she is there, safe and happy, has enabled us to enjoy our time with her and genuinely feel content that all her needs are catered for. There is great communication and we find the social media page, which celebrates the care home community, a source of great joy. We have found all the care providers to be professional and helpful, and the team are excellent. Well done everybody!
We have had a tremendous amount of support in terms of the high standard of care, emotional support as well as the provision of carefully crafted range of activities for residents to engage in. The excellent support in managing issues around health issues and the prompt intervention when external agencies and intervention have been/are needed.
All staff members went above and beyond to create a friendly, professional and caring service. Nothing was too much trouble. Our auntie felt safe and the standard of care for her during this time was excellent.
We cannot praise the staff and the home enough. The staff were always smiling, happy to help and cared for our auntie with genuine compassion and kindness. Thank you so much.
My husband has used this home for respite stays for the past two years. He now needs full-time residential care and moved in just before Christmas. I cannot praise this home enough, the staff are wonderful, the building is light and welcoming. It is always clean and smells fresh. There are plenty of comfortable areas for residents and visitors to use. My husband's room is spacious with plenty of natural light and a lovely view of the garden. The most important thing is my husband is happy here, he settled in immediately and is full of praise for all of the staff.
They took a few weeks to settle but with the understanding and patience shown to them, they began to enjoy the calm atmosphere.
They have valued the clean, nicely decorated rooms that they have personalised; the lovely views of the garden and the tasty hot food... but above all, "the staff will do anything for you, you only have to ask and it's done... with a smile!"
After only a couple of months, my dad died. Since then the staff have geared up even more. They have supported not only my mum but our whole family with compassion.
They genuinely care!
