Customer reviews

I have lived at Linnett House since 2011. I live on the ground floor and have a studio flat, it has everything I need and I love spending time in my flat, I have made it very cosy and homely. I feel safe and secure. I enjoy attending the Monday Coffee Mornings and everyone is friendly. It is situated close to local shops so it makes it easy for my family to take me out, and has its own car park and a lovely garden to enjoy. My family are happy that I get a morning call to check on me from the Scheme Manager as it gives them peace of mind.
