We sadly, recently lost our lovely, much loved Mum, after her living the latter part of her life in Silverburn Care Home. It is of huge comfort to us to know that Mum passed away so peacefully, in a place with which she was familiar, cared for by staff who knew her and her ways so well, and who cared for her as if she was truly one of their own .

Our mum has only been in Silverburn Care a few weeks but the care and attention she has received has been the best we could ever wish for. Everyone from management,nurses,carers and housekeeping are all kind, caring and extremely professional. Our mum is very happy and so are we knowing that she is safe and well cared for. All the family would highly recommend this care home.
