YOU hear so many bad reviews about care homes, so I thought it would be nice to praise one for a change.

My mother passed away on Saturday after an illness we knew about.

She went into Heathercroft Care Home, on Longbarn Lane, just over a year ago and loved it there.

The staff and management I can only describe as excellent dedicated people.

Nothing was too much trouble, even to the very end they supported my mother and us.

They are all hard working caring people and all go that extra mile.

I know my mother was well looked after and knowing that makes me feel very happy at this sad time.

I just want to say a big thank you and your kindness will be with us always.
