You gave her time, care and love in abundance. She spent her last few months with such caring people, who tried their utmost to make her as happy and contented as possible. We have only admiration for the commitment and patience you give all the residents at Brandon Park.

The staff is all very pleasant and helpful. Nothing is too much too much trouble for them. Bring vegetarian limits my choice of food but the chef has made recent changes to the menus which has given me and other vegetarians more variety. The standard of cleanliness is excellent.

We visited several homes before my father chose Brandon Park. He felt at home right away and the warm welcome from the general manager and staff was second to none. We would unreservedly recommend Brandon Park to anyone looking for an excellent caring home for a loved one. My fathers doesn't wish to live anywhere else.
