There are insufficient staff to meet the resident's needs. There is a
very high turnover of staff which is most unsettling to an elderly
person, who needs intimate care. Everything is late - getting up, lunch,
etc. My sister and father were stuck in the lift for 5 mins and no one
answered the alarm. I wish we had put him elsewhere.

This is the most amazing place. The staff are always helping patients
with care, friendliness and patience. They informed me promptly of any
issues and maintained a presence at my Uncle's bed during his last
hours.The organisation, staff training , Leadership and Management are
excellent, the standard is set and maintained by the owner. My Uncle was
always well presented whenever I called to see him. He required feeding,
this was done with patience and cheerfulness. The premises are
outstanding, very clean and bright, with lovely views and gardens. I was
very concerned last year when faced with the task of finding a Nursing
Home where he would be looked after well, I was so pleased I found The
Cottage and felt fortunate that I was able to secure a place. Thank you
to the owner and all his staff, I am extremely grateful for all they did
to make my Uncle's last year comfortable and peaceful.
