Thank you. I appreciate you catering for all personality types! My Dad is not one for being interactive or social, yet you let him be and allow him to be comfortable in his own skin. Thank you for that. Could not have found a better place for him.

Dear Rika, Thank you very much for your email and the wonderful support and care you showed my father in the last weeks, moving him into a care facility was a very difficult choice to make but it was definitely the Best choice as your staff were absolutely wonderful, they showed such care and attention to my father and I know he felt a lot more comfortable than he anticipated. We are all very thankful for your kindness and the wonderful people in the home. I hope this finds you well.
