Testimonials

'My mother suffers with Dementia and Alzheimer's and can be a little unsettled at times, however all the staff at the old vicarage are very understanding and patient, they're always willing to help and re-assure. My mother sees all the staff members as family and so do we, the atmosphere is always warm friendly and happy.'
