CARE Homes


The UN considers a country to be ageing when 7% of its population 

is aged 65 or over. The figure for the UK is 17%. - BBC



CARE homes

At night, the care centres were clearly visible from Earth
Somewhere in size between the distant stars and the lambent moon

Time was when a hundredth birthday brought greetings from the Queen
Now, on the screen, a Compulsory Age-related Relocation E-notice

The standard of care is excellent. You couldn't complain
But all the same, there was no place like home, was there?
