“Main Road is in a lovely quiet area that also has local amenities within walking distance. The bungalow is nice, big, airy, and has a lovely back garden. The staff team works hard to give person-centred care. One resident has been here for ten years so there is a really stable atmosphere.” Manager, Main Road
