Barons Park in Kirby Muxloe
We received this outstanding review on carehome.co.uk! A massive well done to the incredible staff team 👏👏
“My mum is in the Connections Unit in Barons Park. The care staff in the unit are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Mum’s room is very nice and has ensuite facilities too.
Mum has severe dementia, which makes communication quite difficult, but the carers and nursing staff take great care of Mum. The manager and reception staff are very welcoming and always happy to answer any questions. I know Mum is happy and well looked after at Barons Park.”
