Saturday 14th
Springhill in Accrington
We received this outstanding review on carehome.co.uk! A massive well done to the incredible staff team 👏👏
“My cousin moved into Spring Hill in June last year after a lengthy hospital stay for the repair of a broken leg, which went badly wrong. Since entering Spring Hill, her condition has dramatically improved as the quality of her care has been so exceptional.
The standard of nursing is first-class, as is the environment within which she is living. Everyone from reception and management to nursing, therapists and catering staff is cheerful, but cannot do enough to make her comfortable and to encourage her to make her way towards a better quality of life.
We have been especially helped by the manager in dealing with the many issues we have encountered in ensuring that my cousin’s care is properly provided and adequately funded. An exercise which we have found to be extremely complex and daunting as we have no experience in this field. What a lovely place to visit and know that my cousin is being given the best of care.”
