LETTER OF THE DAY: Hope I don't end up in an '˜uncaring' care home
It is a terrifying read but it is a report that mirrors such reports that appear frequently these days.
I am 86 and so far in good health physically and mentally (I am fortunate).

In my life I have been scared, as most people have at some time.
I went through the Korean War, The Malay Emergencies and served with the Zambian Army on the Congo Border (and have been married three times) but I was never as scared as the possibility of having to end up in one of these care homes.
I qualify this article by saying that I do realise that there are good and caring homes so maybe if it comes to pass I may be lucky.
