Comments about Irwell House

“I visited Irwell House several times prior to my mother moving there. Glenys, the warden, was extremely helpful and able to put my mother at ease. (what a lovely lady) I also met other residents who were equally friendly and helpful. The access is easy but well protected and each floor is clearly marked. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Irwell House.”20/05/2013Liz (relative of someone who lives/lived here)reply
