What Families Say
Laura P
Granddaughter of Resident
"Words will never convey the gratitude and thanks to the manager and all the team at Swn-Y-Gan who cared for our beautiful nana, to everyone who cared for Nan in her final days, and the time before that, you know who you are and you are all OUTSTANDING. You were all so wonderful, kind, compassionate and caring, most importantly for nan, but also for us as a family in a time of need. From the check ins, to the coffees and having dad to stay so he could be close to nan in her final days, nothing was too much. You allowed nan to keep as much dignity as possible, kept her comfortable and clean as you could, and beyond expectations. You were all incredible. THANK YOU.It broke our hearts when Nan had to go into a home but we couldn't have asked for a more lovely people to surround her. It was so clear you all loved her, as she did you. Thank you so much for everything and for helping Nan to still smile and laugh in her time there"
