Testimonials
Testimonials
"That's very kind Evelyn and well said because we know there were distinctly good times when Mum was involved in activities, trips and special occasions. More especially remembered by us as a family is your great love and care given so unconditionally to Mother. We are so grateful for this over the last 4 years"

To Evelyn & All Staff of Hiron Wing
"Thank you all so much for the dedicated care you gave Dot over the last 4 years. Your patience and thoughtfulness surpassed our hope and Dot was very fortunate to be in your care. Words can't express our gratitude."
