Burwood Grange Care Home

"Very friendly and extremely engaging staff who are both knowledgeable and professional. Mum is very happy, and has progressed significantly from being quiet/individual to loving being involved in all the activities. She also loves the food."

Darcy Gardens Care Home

"Mum was quite anxious when she arrived at Farley Gardens, but the staff were very welcoming and made her feel comfortable & relaxed. It took a number of weeks for Mum to settle in completely, the staff paid mum the right amount of attention to help her settle. Regular visits from my sister and myself also helped with her settling. The activity program is varied + interesting for everyone. The food is of a high quality, varied and a good portion size too. The cake in the Coffee area is always good too and changes daily. Mum room is a perfect size, clean & comfortable. Overall I am very pleased with FG care home, it displays high standards in all aspects of care for the Elderly. Mum has certainly made friends at FG and enjoys everything that is available. I would not hesitate recommend FG to anyone who is looking for a happy comfortable home for a loved one."
