"wonderful place for elderly, they feel so comfortable and happy here" - friend of a resident My Mother is doing really well, the family have noticed a vast improvement in her health already. The family is so pleased and say that there is 'new hope. 'Mum can be difficult but staff are great, they are very friendly and approachable. Charissa especially has been wonderful. Mum is very sociable, but is not getting very involved in the activities, but she is being encouraged to try them.
