Report
My mother Doris Lewis is in the care of Wymondley and coming to the end of her life in the next day or two. I want to say that on behalf of our family the carers and nursing staff here have been world class. As compassionate, supportive, loving as anyone could wish for over these last difficult weeks. We cannot speak highly enough about the staffs approach to residents and family. It is exlempory. Everything that we could wish for my mothers final days. Thank you
