I couldn't be happier with Abbeygate Manor. My mother has settled in so easily and is loving her new environment. She has become much more involved in activities and is content to mobilise in and out of the many communal areas. The staff (all of them, without exception) have shown such kindness, care and compassion to her, but most of all, they give her time and attention. The decor is top notch, the place is spotlessly clean, and the food is wonderful! My mother loves it (and so do I!!).
