The kindness and dignity she was shown was wonderful. Everything was done to make her last few days as comfortable as possible. My brother, sister-in-law and I were included in all decision making and felt the warmth and care of a truly dedicated manager and all staff. Thank you so much.”

They were attentive to the needs of myself and my friend whilst I visited, extremely professional yet warm in their approach.
