The home I work at is brilliant and I am probably biased but hey, the staff and the residents are amazing and there is always something going on..laughter, singing etc is heard alot and thats mainly the staff haha. Ron the expensive of living in a home is dreadful, it is better to have nothing at all because they will take it all anyway. The carers pay is low as is the nursing pay, it is a rewarding job but a good wage would be the icing on the cake. Regarding your brother in laws home, that is disguisting and should not happen! |
