    They kept on phoning me and we had made an arrangement for the cleaner to arrive. I waited for over 2 hours but no one turned up. I then called the number and one man told me that he would be happy to postpone the arrangement for the next fortnight!. That was a joke! I wouldn't recommend to anyone!

    My mother stayed at the Malvern Centre for two weeks in respite care. Despite it's high quality facade, I felt the facility lacked the human touch. She felt isolated and was asked to remain in her room after complaining about the food. Her appointed nurse did his job but could have been a lot more considerate on a personal level. Hearing aid batteries weren't checked, leaving her without hearing for most of her stay.
