The staff treat my sister well, I have nothing but praise.
Barbara Baker
Overall Experience
5.0 out of 5
Every single member of staff always greeted me warmly when I arrived and were always asking if there was anything I needed in support of my brother, to whom they were always very caring and compassionate. Lovely room, surroundings and garden, where he received the best possible care, always making sure he was clean, fed and made comfortable. I was always kept informed and I am just so glad he was there for the last few weeks of his life. Thoroughly recommend.
