Mum is overall very happy here. She tells me often how kind everyone is, how she has made friends and that there is always something to do. The atmosphere is warm ad friendly when I visit. I love the light and airiness of the building, which is the home of many I sometimes wonder though, if an annual review with family member might be useful, to make sure we are on the same page so to speak, to keep lines of communication open and effective and to better work together.

Thank you for your feedback, Margaret. Reviews are undertaken every six months, and we encourage you to raise your concerns with staff at any time.
