I've just got back from viewing a care home with a view to a weeks respite care for my Dad (well, for me really). It was a nice place, they've just had a new wing built and all the rooms are en-suite. The bathrooms have a central drain so even if you forgot to pull the shower curtain you wouldn't flood the room. I thought at £550/week it seemed like good value - I had previously looked at full time care homes and they were quoting £32k/year (not that he would agree to that anyway). He gets assessed tomorrow by the care home and if that is ok I should soon be getting a whole 7 days free.
