But it has been clear that this was the right course and the continued care has saved us all. The last three months has shown us the value of the hard work ‘our girls’ have put in every day, from the morning wave to the goodnight check, the tasty and well served hot meals delivered each day, the constant cleaning of communal walkways, our beautifully dried and folded laundry and the special help delivered so promptly when needed. The management and staff here have kept us safe, healthy and mentally able to adapt ourselves to what lies ahead, Thank you to all."

Many times they go beyond the call of duty. Here we have 25 occupied apartments; this message was prompted after speaking with a neighbour. We both regularly talk with others (by telephone or at a safe distance when we meet) so we feel sure this complement is similarly reciprocated by our fellow homeowners. So thanks to McCarthy Stone and everyone for keeping us safe."
