Report
Although I haven't dealt with this home personally, a friend's father was moved here after a truly disgraceful stay in another home. The care he received through lockdown was exceptional not only in dealing with his needs but also the needs of a doting daughter (my friend). I am about to enquire about a relative being placed here based on their experience! The new manager was excellent at communication and the staff in their work.

All the posts on here are old. This home specialises in dementia care. The staff are all dedicated and caring. In my experience Mum was well cared for as we're all the other residents. The manager has only been in post about 2 years and the changes he has made have turned the home around.
