If Tillymint has worked in a few maybe she could give you some pointers? Or might have former colleagues who could?

u should beable to get a book with all the addresses of homes in the area u want lynn. i got 1 for this part of essex. the first 1 she went into we broke her out after a day. it was horrible. but now shes in Poppy lodge in westcliff. and they have done marvels with her. shes in what they call stepdown. and the homes great. its just the social services we are having probs with. got a bill for over a thousand quid come through the door. i almost fainted, the social worker hadnt done her job, and when we was trying to sort it out, she was so patronizing. so be warned if u have to get the S.S involved be vigilant. she really are a peice of work.
but ask essex county council for a list of homes,they should provide u with 1.
and good luck. MILs home is smashing, and after the initial grumbling she likes it there now!!!
