“Dear Sue & all of your wonderful staff,

Our Mother entered Christopher Grange for two weeks respite. From the moment she arrived at Marillac House she was made to feel so welcome and part of a very special family. She loved being in Marillac House so much that she stayed for over three years, till her death at 100 years of age.

She was so very, very happy all the time she spent there and adored the staff who really did treat her her with time, care, patience, respect and dignity. Nothing was ever too much trouble for any of them – they are all truly remarkable individuals.

We as a family also felt very much a part of Marillac House – all of the staff had time for a chat and a laugh, as well as keeping us informed of our Mothers care. We could sleep well at night knowing she was being so well looked after and was where she wanted to be.

She so loved being able to attend daily mass, have her hair styled and in her early days there, going on trips out.

All of this encompasses what Christopher Grange is about – a very caring, friendly, compassionate environment.

Thank you”
