ONCE again we are faced with the possibility of very elderly people being moved from one care home to another. Only six months ago my mother had to move from Shafto House to another home.

Some of her friends have sadly passed away since then and while the move can not be blamed for their passing, I am sure that it did not help. I hope that the financial problems of Southern Cross can be solved.
