Read on carehome.co.uk →I have always found the staff particularly experienced, attentive, kind and friendly, from the office staff, nurse, carers and maintenance, both to the resident and relatives.
The staff are quick to inform me if there is an additional health problem. I have never heard a raised voice and the carers are very patient.
I have complete trust in the Home and feel my relative is in good hands
Read on carehome.co.uk →My mother has been a resident at Hay House for advanced dementia for over three years. We have been very pleased with the care she has received. The staff are always attentive and friendly when we visit. Mum is always well cared for, clean and comfortable. We were very pleased she was accepted to Hay House as some of her behaviours could be very challenging. Her needs have changed since her original admission but Hay House has been able to adapt and provide what she needs.
