Wonderful staff. Facilities clean and clients well looked after.
They look after my mum and treat her wonderfully well. That's all I can ask for. Lovely staff.
Although it is a secure ward the staff treat my mum brilliantly. Special shout out to Deb who goes above and beyond. These places are never where we want our loved ones to be, however it is so reassuring that the staff take care of my mum.
