We want to say how very grateful we are to you all for looking after our Aunty Doreen during her stay with you. For treating her like family. The care and support you gave not only to Doreen but to us was second to none. A huge thank you to you all.

Relative of a resident, May 2021

Just a note of thanks to you and your staff for the excellent care Sheila received during her time with you. It was reassuring through a difficult couple of years, I knew she was being well looked after.

Her room was spotless when we were last there and we could not fault the cleanliness of the home.
