4 / 5 ★When I drive into Bob Scott, I feel like I am coming home. Staff who clean my apartment do a great job. I enjoy all the Singers who come to sing for an hour.

2025 Review of Current Services
3 / 5 ★Given the large number of residents in this particular village there is too little space given to the "social " area. It would be very easy to sacrifice a couple of adjacent apartments as they become available and refurbish as meeting rooms etc.
Facility Response:
Thanks for your review and feedback.
Great feelings between residents
3 / 5 ★To stop treating us as "independents" until it does not fit.
Serviced apartment
2 / 5 ★More recent large print books required
Independant living
2 / 5 ★Hire the right people for the job. Pay them & train them well. Admit your faults & don't be always looking for an excuse. Remember what your publicity promised but doesn't deliver.
One Star
1 / 5 ★Include independent residents.
