From a carer
“Peaceful Place has given mum a purpose in life, something to talk about, even if it is just which bus is collecting her in the morning and how nice the driver is... She is full of the adventures she has been on including lunch time trips to restaurants, museums and walks. This is so much more than we can offer her. You have given meaning to her life and something to get up and get ready for in the mornings, a routine that she follows with eagerness, something to look forward to.”
