I have worked at Durnsford Lodge for 7 months now and have felt welcomed and included since day 1. Our residents are happy, very well looked after and take part in fun activities everyday. I can honestly say I enjoy going to work. It is sad to read a negative & untrue review from someone, just because their time here didn’t work out.

TORR HOME REVIEWS
I go to Torr Home with the agency I work for. I have never been to such a nice home with lovely staff. Every one of the clients there are looked after with so much love and care. There are many homes in Plymouth that are not providing a good service. This is 100% NOT one of them. Torr home and glentor are 2 of the nicest homes I go to.2e nicest
I just want to see to Hca and the nursing staff for making feel so welcome when I worked there for my nursing agency. The home is absolutely stunning with beautiful grounds. The staff work so hard just help the residents that live. It’s is very clean and the kitchens are spotless. Well done to everyone that works there, you should be proud of yourself and I hope to see you soon.
A quiet home for the elderly in lovely, well cared for grounds. It's the kind of place you want your grandparents to live in. The home looks good, but the carers make it special.

ANCHOR - SELKIRK HOUSE REVIEWS
Fantastic care home to work in. Would recommend Selkirk to anybody, I have worked at Selkirk for nearly 8 months and I can honestly say it’s the best place I’ve worked in over the past couple years. I can’t wait for the future at Selkirk House Managers are lovely too. can’t knock the home at all.
Selkirk House, Plymstock, Devon, is a lovely run home with lots of staff, all very caring. It felt very homely. The rooms were very spacious. My father liked his time there.
Angels in uniform, that's all I need to say after a period of respite form management to carers and housekeeping and laundry.
