Mum stayed at st Francis for respite and says it's marvellous ...there's nothing that needs improving she told me ....the food was fantastic, the staff were great, she met new friends, played bingo which she thoughly enjoyed and even the bed was lovely and comfortable ...she had a wonderful experience thankyou
I have a family member who currantly resides in this facility. She's found many friends not just with the other residents but also through the staff at the facility. I do and will continue to nominate this facility to anyone who asks me . The staff are nothing but kind and courteous. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the staff at St Francis for all they do on a daily basis for my family member . Thank you MRS Karen Crane
I recently visited St Francis and whilst it is an older building, i was greeted with smiles and warmth from the staff and residents. It has a lovely vibe.
