Always patient and understanding in their care for Mum from the moment she arrived in May 2019 until the end of her life; always with loving kindness and preserving Mum's dignity and comfort. Thank you to all the staff.”

The manager is a blessing.”

“Whenever I have visited Nower House for over three years, there were always activities going on for the residents. The home was spotlessly clean, the staff were very friendly and my friend was really happy there. She was kept clean and well dressed and often told me how nice the food was and that she was in the best place. I would like to thank all the staff at Nower Care for all they did in looking after my best friend. Thank you very much.”

“My mother chose to move to Nower House from her own home when she needed more care and companionship and felt too anxious to remain at home alone. From the start, I was confident that she would be well looked after and, throughout her stay, I was nothing but pleased with the care she received. The staff were always kind, attentive and thoughtful, anticipating small but important things such as the need for her spectacles to be cleaned. I wholeheartedly recommend Nower House.”
