I would like to thank the three musketeers Katie Kistie and Barbara who look after my father who is 92 and in failing health. l live a long away from my father which makes it difficult to see my Dad especially with Covid still active. That being said I get tremendous piece of mine knowing that my Dad is being looked after by such a wonderful caring staff. So a big big thankyou. Best wishes Angela
