Well I would have pulled the plug (only because I have seen it before)

But I wouldn´t mind a care home if it´s like Mum´s
1 bed apartment
3 meals a day
coffee on demand
swimming pool
gym
library
washing done (although I am not sure the right clothes always come back)
cleaning
trips out Mon -Friday
bingo (for those who play)
internet in room or pc´s in library

and to cap it all the clientel keep changing. :-D
