Vendors Comment - " The supplementary in-house care packages available at Bowling Green Court were a godsend for my Mum when she needed them and saved her from having to go into a care home which she was dreading. Her carers were genuinely loving and kind, managing all her medication and other needs with the greatest respect and professionalism. Mum was so happy with how they looked after and befriended her when she became infirm and needed progressively more comprehensive care and attention which Bowling Green Court excels at providing."
