From the manager
“I work with families like yours every day, and know that choosing a care home can feel, well, a bit scary. That’s why, for over 25 years, at Greensleeves Care we have worked to make moving into care less daunting. I’m excited to show you what The Orchards has to offer. It all starts with our 6-week no-obligation trial, so you get to try before committing longer term. Our ‘big hearts only’ approach to care means you get skill with a smile, a nice cup of tea before you even realise you want one, and a joke when you need it. We think that’s all part of good caring. Being a charity means our focus is on people, not pockets. And with our Home for Life Commitment, you’ll never be asked to leave if your funds run out. Because that’s part of good caring too. We are here to answer all your questions and help you make a confident and empowering care choice. Give us a call today to discuss your needs or plan your visit. We can’t wait to show you around.”
