People gripe about care homes but I feel really positive about the one my wife's been in for the last 18 months.
Yesterday it was one of the lady's 87th birthday making her 23 years older than my wife and this lady is far mobile, continent and talks all skills my wife has now lost.
As usual there were 7 carers for 28 residents, 3 nurses and the unit supervisor so 10 staff.
Three of the staff who weren't working came in to help out in their own time. The party went well, balloons, cakes, prosecco and all the rest.
How care homes work is down to the ethos of the managers and the staff, in a good home schemes like this aren't needed and bad homes won't join in the first place.
