“We looked at a couple of care homes for my mum who has dementia. We wanted somewhere friendly with good facilities. Winchcombe Place stood out above the rest. There were plenty of staff and a good range of facilities and an amazing menu! On the day she moved in, the staff were very attentive and caring and helped her to settle, reassuring us at all times. We couldn't have chosen a better place!” M C (Daughter of Resident)
