The wonderful team of staff are always giving their love,care support and empathy to all your Residents. The Beacon
To the very special people who care for Gaie. Thank you. I have spent alot of times in Rest Homes over the last 10 years and not one comes close to the buoyant and fun atmosphere you have at OBC. It is such a relief to have found you and to know that Mum is cared for with such kindness and compassion. It is also a delight to watch you sing when there is agitation, hug when there are tears and dance when there is melancholy. With huge gratitude to all the staff at OBC. Thank you so sincerely for all your love and care given to us. This helped us to cope better with the changes in my husband and also with his permanent departure. |
