Report
After years of saying she was never going into a home, circumstances left us with no choice. She agreed to go in for a months convalescence but after two weeks she said she was staying. Mum had a very happy year at Aria Court before she passed away peacefully there. My sister and I live in London and South Wales and knowing she was happy and extremely well cared made it easier for us. We would definitely recommend this care home.
