Testimonials 

Katrina Shamel

“Dad really did enjoy Orchard House, he was never distressed or upset either when he was a day pupil or a boarder!!! But also it gave my Mum so much comfort that he was with such a caring team. Thanks for everything that you and your staff did to look after him.” 

Lynn, Relative

“Thank you for looking after my husband so well. He really enjoyed his stay, his room and the great bath, as well as the care and attention you have all shown him. I had a great time relaxing and doing nothing, you might not know it, but you saved me”

Kathryn, Relative

“Dad always enjoyed coming for the day and we are looking forward to you reopening so that he can join you again. The respite care is second to none, all of Dad’s needs are met, and he is so relaxed and enjoys his time with you. The family can make the most of the free time they have with peace of mind that Dad is getting the best care. I thoroughly recommend both the day care and respite services at Orchard House”.

Wendy, Relative and Resident

All the residents are treated in the most lovely, caring way, with great respect, dignity and the utmost patience.
