Testimonials
Testimonials
"When I first arrived at Parkwood Lodge it was a big change for me. The management and every single staff member have nurtured and cared for me in a way that I feel they are my extended family - even with the delightful staff who are like daughters.

Now I have been here for a year and the affection, kindness, cheerfulness, fun and absolute excellence of service continue to create a strong sense of security and a different way of being independent."
