RE: OLD Gates Nursing Home, Blackburn.

Many care and nursing homes have recently been shown to be lacking in expertise and delivery of services to residents.

After a long illness, my wife was accepted to Old Gates Nursing Home and stayed for five months until her recent passing.

All the staff there, nursing, caring and administrative, were wonderful, both professionally and personally, during the whole time.

My wife was extremely well looked after, her circumstances being very complex, and every single day all the staff were very attentive, caring and comforting to myself.
