This was our first personal experience of residential care, and were were dreading it. We visited Collingswood a couple of times at different times of the day. The staff are always friendly and very helpful, the home was always clean and smelt lovely. My Aunt is very fussy and we did worry how she
would manage in care, however the staff made her feel very welcome and she loved living there, so much that when it came to leaving she didn't want to go. The staff would spend time with her in her room talking and some would pop to the shop on their break for her, as she didn't want to leave her room. The staff were excellent at communicating with us and we felt happy and secure that she was safe and being looked after very well. I have worked in health and social care for over 15 years and this is the nicest home I have been in. The staff work there because they care not because its a job.
