This was our first personal experience of residential care, and were
were dreading it. We visited Collingswood a couple of times at different
times of the day. The staff are always friendly and very helpful, the
home was always clean and smelt lovely. My Aunt is very fussy and we did
worry how she would manage in care, however the staff made her feel very
welcome and she loved living there, so much that when it came to leaving
she didn't want to go. The staff would spend time with her in her room
talking and some would pop to the shop on their break for her, as she
didn't want to leave her room. The staff were excellent at
communicating with us and we felt happy and secure that she was safe and
being looked after very well. I have worked in health and social care
for over 15 years and this is the nicest home I have been in. The staff
work there because they care not because its a job.
