Nursing homes, especially for dementia patients, always get a bad press, but there are probably hundreds out there who do a marvellous job
When looking for one for my husbands mother, we decided on the one where they said anyone was free to visit at any time at all, it definitely wasn’t the poshest, but it was small and friendly, and the staff were always kind.
I can’t go as far as to say it was a happy place, some of the residents were very vocal, and could be nasty, others were so sad, one lady walked around with her suitcase all the time, waiting to be collected.
So anything that makes life a little bit more interesting, or sparks a happy memory, has to be good
