Review Of The Month – Quarry House
When you walk in the front door, you are immediately made welcome, and the whole atmosphere of the place is peaceful and running on very well-oiled wheels!
The nursing staff and the carers are all very friendly and helpful, not just to the resident but also to the resident’s next of kin.
The food is good, and there are plenty of activities for patients to get involved in, including trips out in the minibus.
