Staff & Qualifications
We are proud to have been awarded ‘INVESTORS IN PEOPLE’ for the past 15 years. In recent years this has been a requirement of the Care Quality Commission (CQC), however, only a few care homes have complied so far.
Our Manager prides herself on selecting courteous and highly motivated staff in order to provide an excellent standard of care for our residents.
