Testimonials
Testimonials
"My father was recently living at Radius Kensington in Hamilton, He enjoyed his time there and was very well looked after by the staff, there care was outstanding and they always made him feel included and cared for, he was struggling toward the end but the staff were all ways very patent and kind, they spoilt him when he first moved in and continued to do so his entire time he was there, it made it a lot easier for the family knowing dad was safe and cared for, the family would like to extend a huge thank you to Radius for all their help with dad, Vic Hopkirk."
