This place looked after my mother so beautifully. She went in with advanced cancer and did expect to go home, however she didn't.

But, they got her pain under control so she was happy and peaceful at the end.

This is the most wonderful place with the most wonderful caring staff.

The staff make this place special it's them that put people at ease and help with pain by their genuine caring attitude. I could not of coped without you and nor could my husband. Full respect to you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My mum spent her final week's here. When mum 1st arrived she said it was like heaven, I'd have to agree with my mum. Special people, special place.
