Report
Really good, kind, caring and hardworking staff. My Gran lived her last years here, she enjoyed chatting with the staff, having a brew and getting her nails painted by the staff. Easy to talk to the staff about any requests or concerns. They were there for her and gave her hugs right until the end x
