I knew I couldn’t bring him home. Social care in the hospital told us about Clarinbridge. Now that he is here it is not a nursing home, it is a home. I never thought I would be in this situation and I never knew a place like this is here”

I would like to thank the staff of Ferbane Nursing home, who take such good care of my brother. They had to learn both what my brother wanted, and what was important to us, as his family. The staff have great attention to detail, empathy, listening skills and understanding of every situation.

Our Mother went into Willow Brooke for a few weeks respite, and decided she was staying! With Covid lockdowns, she found being at home very hard and enjoys the company and social events at Willow Brooke. She is always full of news when I come to visit, about trips out or the last bingo game. The team at Willow Brooke do an excellent job every day!
