“They welcomed my mother with open arms and could not do enough to help her settle in, feel welcome and ensure that she was looked after to the highest standards.”
“During the Covid situation staff have been fantastic at keeping in touch with emails, letters and photos and facilitating Skype and as a relative, this has been extremely important to me.”
“My mum went into Fleet Valley for five day emergency respite care. The care Mum received during those five days was excellent and reassured my family that Mum would be well looked after and Fleet Valley was the right care home for Mum as her Dementia progressed. Mum was treated with the utmost respect and dignity during her stay.”
“We have experienced kindness, professional, empathetic and informative attitudes from everyone who we speak to about my mum. Care staff show dignity and positivity in the way they provide person-centred work style.”
