We always find the staff kind, caring and attentive. They provide a range of activities for the residents throughout the week to keep them active and help with their cognitive functions. Since our friend moved here, it has been a relief to know how well cared for she has been. The management keeps us informed, provides regular updates on our friend, and arranges family activities for friends and relatives to attend. It really is an excellent testament to how a care home should be run.

Really friendly nursing home, very clean and tidy and all residents look very well cared for. My parents are both comfortable and safe and have their medical needs taken care of. Some parts of the building could do with updating and upgrading but this does not affect comfort or safety.
