My mother moved into Norton Place, Baldock in November and it has been a brilliant move. It's a gorgeous interior with great facilities, the on-site staff are wonderful and my mother is thriving there.
Victoria, Daughter of a Homeowner, Norton Place
My mother has recently moved into a brand new apartment in Norton Place, Baldock. From the moment we met Shelley, she was reassuring and did all she could to make the whole moving experience as trouble free as possible. Now that Mum is in and settled, we are so impressed with the whole care team, headed by Sharon. We couldn't have asked for more.
