Report
My mother in law had to stay at Summerleaze on respite. She was very anxious about coming in but there was no need. The staff were all lovely and made her feel very welcome. She joined in with some activities and made some new friends which made us feel much happier about her staying there. She is a bit of a fussy eater, which was a bit of a worry, but she was accommodated for and pleasantly surprised by how much she enjoyed it. If she was needing to go into a home again in the future, she has requested Summerleaze.
