Staff has a very good behaviour.
The most wonderful thing about Trowbridge House is, without question, the staff. Since Mum moved in, they’ve gone above and beyond to offer her a quality of life that leaves me feeling comfortable and grateful. It was a hard transition for Mum and now she’s active, invested, feeling safe and very cared for.
