I like the sound of your care home, can I go on the waiting list please Like you say, a CH is not a negative, far from it, what would happen if we don't have them..I am sure it is just a few that are not good, while all the great ones are working away and not getting any recognition or praise...Our folks need 24hr wraparound, professional care, so this is what is provided... if I cannot look after myself in the future, then I would happily go to a care home, .Your mum is quite happy, so don't let others judge.....you have done so well, take care xxx
