“     "I could not be happier, I wake up each day to a delicious breakfast and think what do I want to do today. Life at RSBL has exceeded my expectations, I wish I had made this move years ago. I really struggled with shopping, housekeeping chores and making meals for myself, but now I have great people to support me and they make me laugh and feel good about myself". ”        - J P

I used to struggle getting out to shop, but now I just have to look over the menu to see what Chef Paul will be serving in the Dining Room". Sunday evenings are like I remember; Roast Beef with all the fixings, nothing better and comforting than that". ”        - AF

“     "I enjoy the daily exercise programs, they really keep me moving and we have a lot of fun together. I feel better exercising for the morning instead of watching tv or sitting reading.

The staff are on site 24 hours a day so I am able to call or use my emergency pendant for help". ”        - M W
