Report
An excellent nursing home with professional, caring and kind staff. Residents are able to make decisions for themselves and are encouraged to join in the social activities programme and interact with staff and each other. There is always a choice of food at meal times and this is essential to provide people with a normal lifestyle. I thoroughly recommend this nursing home.

Report
The care can only get better, my father was kept dehydrated on more than one occasion, had constipation for 6 days without the nurses being aware, given drinks without the proper amount of thickener regularly. Adult Social care have been in recently because of a number of complaints including mine. It did improve in the last few days of my father's life, hence the 2nd star
