My mother was in this care home for several years before she recently passed away. The staff were incredibly caring and empathetic, and always had a kind word when around my mum. Living in another country, it made things easier for me, as I knew she was being well taken care of, and was made as comfortable as possible especially during the last few months. I can't recommend this care home enough and thank all the staff so much for their kindness and high quality care.
