Food at the property is not aimed at elderly occupants. They like simple food - bangers + mash, pie + chips, etc. One day my aunt had a choice of sweet + sour pork or sweet + sour veg, both with rice. In my experience the elderly like plain food. There is no starters and a very limited choice of desserts. The food lets the care home down. The morning toast is cold and hard. I can't comment on the activities because my aunt hasn't taken part in anything. The one time I asked if the home had transport, i was told there was no driver, so do the residents go out anywhere? I've not seen a mini-van, so is there one? Staff are great, food is not.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you felt the food and activity provision did not meet the standard you expected. We aim to provide well-balanced, enjoyable meals and a varied programme of meaningful activities that support choice, wellbeing, and...
Found all the staff very friendly and looking after my father-in-law and mother-in-law very well indeed. The rooms remind me of a 5-star hotel. Excellent
