My mother in law who has dementia & Alzheimers was admitted for respite for 2 months recently . We were contacted after 2 weeks to say she was going to be terminated within 24 hours without any reasons !

Now Aquarius tell us she needs one to one care !! This has resulted in a complete disarray to all of us without any notice at all ! How can a care home treat a vulnerable resident of 80 with dementia like this without any

Some staff are very knowledgable, its clean and tidy and a lot of time goes into activities , Xmas and birthdays , the senior carer is excellent. I regret leaving as it was a
