THERE has been some negative publicity recently surrounding care homes, so I wanted to take this opportunity to share a positive experience.

My mother went into Blenheim care home in March 2014 and was welcomed in and made to feel at home from the very first day.

Mum had a challenging form of dementia and the staff, particularly the senior staff, took mum under their wing and her care was first class.

They are an amazing team working under the manager Denise Chrippes and fully deserve recognition for the job they do. I simply cannot praise them enough. They truly are angels.
