Hiya,

I can look at this from both sides.

I live in a smaller version of one for younger adults. I'm told I make it interesting because my music sounds like this.

Everyone does their own thing, & whether it is any good or not depends who's on shift. It's close to my parents so they can visit me/I can visit them, but I thought the place would be better than it actually is & for the most part I feel let down, in spite of being taken to see Maddy Prior in the 2nd week of moving in (her voice has always helped with any physical distress I might be in)

I stayed in several homes when looking for a suitable place, however bad they were, & I always met really interesting people in them. I've always said there needs to be care homes set up for music tastes rather than needs.

How about a blues retirement home ??
