Good for the elderly my grandfather lived & died there
My grandfather used to reside there & he lived a sound & enjoyable time whilst being @ Mertone
I use to drive the seniors 20 years ago so when i went back after all those years there wasn't a single person i knew including staff and thats understandable . But the place looked the same peaceful and calm .
Taking great care of my mum, they are so caring and friendly! My mum was sceptical at first but she loves being there and after 4 months she calls it home... thank you to everyone for making her feel so welcome xx
