Although the home is scruffy and limited, it is friendly and homely. For
my brother, it has provided him, with his schizophrenia, with a home
where he feels safe and wanted. The manager has proved especially
capable of handling my brother's behaviour. Other staff are also caring
and the current cook has 'mothered' him in a way which has markedly
improved his behaviour and appearance. His experience in previous homes
has never helped him so much. He is happier and better behaved now than
he has been for tens of years. Although the facilities may seem few, it
has not proved a disadvantage for him.

A great improvement from my last review, the food is a lot better more
of a choice, the staff take turns in doing the cooking, the garden is
much cleaner, there are more activities, more rooms to relax in.
