During Mum's end-of-life care, the staff were really kind and thoughtful in many small ways that made her passing as comfortable as possible.

🌟🌟Our residents had a fantastic time today with French knitting! They used colourful wool to create their names and fun shapes with wire, showcasing their creativity and fine motor skills. A wonderful mix of relaxation and artistry.
Joyce even made one for our manager!
