If I was still speaking to the ex and she was still there ( shes preggers now ) I'd put you in touch as I know she ran a very good home...
I was quite shocked by how much money they charge and what the add ons are.... £99 a week extra to administer medicines for example - I think that was Sunrise.
Agree with Steve though there are some bad ones.
From the ex's experience any which are run as a business by individuals are a no no - sorry to say this (without being racist) in her experience they tended to be run by Asians who simply did not put the budget back in to quality staff or care.
She was paid more money than one of the big multiples and told there was no money available for improvements and just to manage and that was it - despite the home being full and making plenty of money.
Stick with the bigger names if you can afford to do so.
