What people are saying about us
Mandy Parker
Overall Experience
5.0 out of 5
Our mother was here for 3 months for end-of-life care and the staff were so lovely. Mum praised them so much, nothing was too much trouble and she knew most of them on first-name terms.
She always enjoyed meal times and conversations with the staff.

Overall Experience
5.0 out of 5
My mum has now resided at the home for 6 years and during that time she has received caring and also sympathetic treatment and has built a bond with a number of staff there and with some staff I have observed visiting her before they finish for the week to see how she is. During my weekly visits, the staff have been very courteous to me and always offer me a drink when afternoon tea is served up.
