Mum seemed extremely happy there and had so much freedom. Not only that, the ability to visit her at many hours was not a restriction and ease of visiting was a huge plus. Unfortunately she was moved due to my brother being power of attorney and the new home is very stifling

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that your Mum was happy and enjoyed the freedom and flexibility that our Care Community provides. We understand how important it is for families to visit their loved ones, and we're glad to hear that our open visiting hours made it easier for you to spend time with your Mum. We're sorry she had to be moved and we hope that she settles into her new home. Thank you again for choosing our Care Community, and we wish you and your family all the best.
