Care Home

I have decided to write this review to warn people of the financial rules made by the local authority, if and when the time ever comes for one of their parents to go into a residential or nursing home then they need to be fully aware of Nominal Capital and how it can cause problems if ever a claim was needed to get help with fees. Both my Mother and Father in Law are in a residential care home, they are very well looked after and have no worries which is a blessing, but my husband and I have had worries beyond belief over the last year due to the Local Authorities rules and regulations. Mum and dad owned their own house and it was their pride and ...  Read the complete review

Signing the piece of paper to say you agree to your mother living in a local care home must be the hardest, gut-wrenching thing you will ever have to do. But my mum did just that and I'm so proud of her for it. She has always lived with her mother, even after her marriage in 1965. I couldn't have done that. When I got married I wanted my new found and frisky freedom to be honest. My dad probably deserves a gold medal too. But there were advantages to this. My brother and I were raised in a 3 generation household and I now know from teaching for 22 years that the stability of an extended family is absolutely priceless. We were offered unconditional love ...  Read the complete review

When I read review about care centers, I remembered one of care Homes in our City which is meant for blind people. I first went there went i heard from my friend's father that they are gifting a cricket bat. Since then I visit there atleast once in an year.

Both the students and the teachers work really hard almost ten time normal ones can. The care such ...  Read the complete review

I have worked in 'Care' for more years than I would like to remember. There are lots of different types of Care Homes. There are Care Homes for young people with Physical Disabilities, for young people with Mental Health Issues, for people who suffer from Alcohol Abuse, Drug Abuse, Eating Disorders and this names only a few. There are also Care Homes providing, either Residential Care or Nursing Care for the elderly and infirm. In this review, I would like to talk about Nursing Homes for the elderly. Today I went to visit my Mother-in-Law at a Nursing Home, which will be her home from now on. She is a wonderful ...  Read the complete review

I have just read a review about care homes and how to choose one and I thought I would share my (our) experiences with you. This is another difficult review for me to as my mother only died in April of this year. To start from the beginning we moved here to Llandudno in the summer of 2002 so that mom and dad could live with Dave (hubby) and me as dad had Alzheimer's disease and mom was struggling to look after him on her own. I became his full time carer until he died in the summer of 2005. Sadly as dad deteriorated mom developed Vascular Dementia and so, after dad's death, I became full time carer to mom. The nature of mom's illness ...  Read the complete review
