Angela Horrocks has been a resident at Abafields for five years. Her daughter shares what that journey has meant for the whole family.
Making the decision to move a parent into care is never easy. Angela's daughter admits the family felt guilty at first, but says the staff at Abafields helped reassure them from the start. Whatever the family needs, whether it's a quick answer or something more, the team has always been there to help.
What stands out most is how Abafields has become an extension of the family. Staff take the time to get to know residents and their relatives, sharing their own family stories in return. It's a two way relationship, built on the kind of trust and familiarity you'd want from any home.
Angela is well looked after and clearly loved by the team around her. Small moments, like a hug or a kiss from staff, make a real difference and reflect the relaxed, homely feel that defines life at Abafields.
For families facing this stage, the message is simple. Look for a home that is approachable, that listens, and that treats your parent's needs as its own.
