 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A residential care home that really has the care of its residents at its very heart. I was very impressed. You notice this immediately from the staff and the owner who are hands on and so caring. Set in a beautiful area of Bognor, in West Sussex. If you are looking for yourself or a family member is definitely worth a visit to see for yourself. Amazing staff and home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A very homely and welcoming care home. Although busy, the staff always have time for a smile, quick hello or chat. Spotlessly clean, and well maintained both inside and out. The garden is well presented with tables, chairs, parasols, hanging baskets and well cared for flower beds. The food is well prepared and varied.
