During that time all staff, from catering, housekeeping and care workers, have got to know her and her likes and dislikes, treating her as an individual, with care and respect. For the last 12 months, she has had one-to-one care support as there are times when her behaviour can be challenging due to the nature of her illness. The majority of staff supporting her are clearly naturally compassionate and learn how best to help her when she is distressed. The staff have also taken time to know family and friends and if we, as a family, have any concerns the senior staff and manager are always happy to take on board comments or worries and make changes if necessary. It&#8217;s been nice to see the newly decorated walkways and garden areas and the updated resident&#8217;s activities programme.&#8221;<br \/><\/em><strong class=\"text-h4\">Review from B C (Sister of Resident)<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"grid gap-2\"><\/div><p><strong class=\"text-h4\"><\/strong><strong class=\"text-h4\"><\/strong><em>&#8220;We are very happy with the care and support my Mum receives at Valley Lodge.
