Good 👍
Very impressed with this place. Plenty of staff all have been friendly. Lots of activities for people to engage in.
Care provided for our Dad over 4 years was wonderful. The care, compassion and enjoyment they provided for Dad was fantastic, including when he was in Pallative care there until his last days.
