Words from our residents and families

John

Symes Grove Resident Jean’s son

“The staff are just lovely. Excellent food… Brenda runs the kitchen, they’ve got their own laundry… You couldn’t ask for a better place.”

Betty J.

Symes Grove Resident

“My advice as you age is to keep yourself occupied and be around a lot of people, and that’s why I love living here. I have friends to talk with, the staff are lovely, and I get to play bingo.”
