Testimonials
| We truly are a unique home. The size and layout of the home ensures a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that you feel as soon as you walk in the front door. The heart of the home is the large lounge and dining area where there is laughter, conversations, companionship and a hive of activities taking place. Sheaffs has been a small family concern for many years with a strong family spirit and a reputation for providing wholehearted care. We took over in 2019 and intend to continue with this philosophy and keep this a locally owned family business. Our wonderful staff are dedicated to providing great care and continually go above and beyond what is required to truly understand and care for individual needs. Staff turnover is very low with some of the girls having been here for many years, which I think is testimony itself to our home. |
