Whilst you never want your parent to be in nursing care, this is a homely, safe and warm place for my mum and staff are lovely, food is always tasty and Management and lifestyle staff are wonderful and always approachable. My dad visits most days and is always welcome. It doesn't smell like a nursing home and there is always something for residents to do. Thank you DBC.
My father was a resident there and I was very happy with the care he received Carers were very caring and friendly Management were very good to deal with and showed they cared Any questions were answered and acted on Highly recommend this home
