The more expenive the care home the less they pay their staff, it's all about the directors profits, we were lucky with my nan she went into a small state run care home in Ireland with proper nursing staff, she loved it, and we loved visiting for the fresh scones and tea or homemade soup we got when we visited she was one of the lucky ones there is a long waiting list to get in there which is always a good sign

We finally got our family member into a nice nursing home too. Peace of mind at last. Luckily she is a 10 minute drive away and settled. Everyone is happy.
