A Warm Welcome

We would like to say a big welcome to Audrey, Clementina, Joyce, Marjorie and Rita who have joined us at Nettlestead. We hope that you will be very happy and are feeling settled within the Nettlestead family. A warm welcome to Camille and Hannah who have joined our Nettlestead team.

Improvements

We have now had the stairlift fitted and the new lift will be going in during March. We will keep you posted on the progress but all looks like it will be smooth sailing!

Feedback

We would like to remind everyone that positive customer reviews and good online ratings increasingly play a key part in helping us come to the attention of potential clients, and so are always valued by us. However, we recognise how valuable your time is so we are offering a bottle of wine to all online reviewers that take the time to share their opinion with us. These can be posted at www.CareHome.co.uk

Facebook

Don’t forget to visit our facebook page if you haven’t already done so. We would encourage you all to go on and have a look at and share ‘Nettlestead News’ and like our page!

We always strive to provide a full and varied activities programme for our residents, but please let us know if you can think of anything else they might enjoy and we will try to include it.
