Relative
My Aunt has been in Cornwall Park for just over 15 months, much against her will, but necessary. She settled down well and likes her room, food and staff. I personally have found the staff empathetic to her needs and always a great atmosphere when we can visit. We hope once we can visit again all will be well.
