The staff at David Harper house have all been wonderful. My mother has been in decline for a number of years and is not always easy to get along with. The staff have been very professional and caring. Well done to all

After hearing all the bad reports of nursing homes Goodwin stands out from the crowd my mum has been there for nearly 30 years and except for a short time where they had a really bad CEO who sent Goodwin's reputation to a low point. Since this bloke left under suspicious circumstances Goodwin has returned to the good village it once was. My mum has now moved into the nursing home section and her care is excellent

staff seem like they don't want to be there or at lest old age people living there are left for hours on their own a lot. and when asking for info about a family member staying there they go wonder off only to have you chase them up as they say they forgotten about you.
