Springfield Care Home looked after my Nanna for the last two years of her life, before she sadly passed a couple of weeks ago at 89 years of age. Over the last two years, I have gotten to know most members of staff, and the care, dignity and respect that the residents are treated with should be commended. The place is immaculate inside and out, and they work tirelessly to keep the residents comfortable, entertained and safe. With a beautiful en-suite room, regular hair appointments and manicures, day trips out, games and shows, and nutritious meals, and surrounded by new-found friends, my Nanna

Totally and utterly recommend this care home . The staff are amazing, the place is kept immaculate, the food is lovely and varied. But I think what impressed me most was the activities provided on a daily basis. The residents were occupied, busy, engaged, entertained and happy. My mum spent 4 very happy years there and whenever we visited, nothing was ever too much for the staff. They were polite, professional and fun. From management to auxiliary staff, everyone cared.
