J W (Resident, 2023)
The staff at Critchill Court are extremely helpful and caring. They made my husband very welcome, they also made me very welcome. It’s bright warm and very homely. Within two days all staff knew his name, it was his birthday on the 19th of September, he was 83 years old. The home put on a wonderful spread of food and welcomed lots of family members and it made his day special. I can’t thank them enough.
Linda M (Wife of Resident, 2023)
I just wanted to say thank you for looking after my mum for respite last week. She felt very safe and cared for and thought all of the staff were kind, thoughtful and good fun. Her visitors told me how lovely everyone was and my experience was of a very welcoming and friendly group who couldn’t do enough for my mum and were also very concerned to make me feel looked after too.
Please thank everyone very much from both of us – it was a really positive experience and we will both be happy to repeat it in the future.
