Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alston Lodge provide an excellent service. The staff are good at their job, caring, friendly and efficient. My aunt has had care from the company for over 18 months and we have been very grateful for the care she has received. Many of the carers have been coming for all that time so there is wonderful
continuity.
