She has settled into the Dale so well it has taken us by surprise. Anticipating some problems after a previous ‘respite’ occasion in a different home, the change has been quite remarkable. Each time we visit, mother praises the staff, the food and surrounding. The transformation in mothers wellbeing is remarkable. She is so happy to be here. “It’s a wonderful place”.
