Linford Care Home - May 2016

[jsp77]

I've fancied a look round here for a while, so i set off for a nice leisurely drive, stopped off at a few places on the way. As I was walking up the drive I didn't know what to expect, had a nice walk round first. Once inside I felt a little uneasy as this was another solo mission, you could see the metal fairies had been to work and with the wind banging doors/windows it took me a while to settle.

UK Border Agency officials raided the Linford Care Home, amid concerns about the care of residents. Officials entered the home, which cares for patients with dementia and physical disabilities, after a tip off. 13 suspected illegal immigrants were arrested and 4 of the centre’s managers and carers were held on suspicion of mistreating vulnerable patients.
