My mother spent her last  months in 2015 and 2016 in Lennox House in Finsbury 

Park. She had vascular dementia so was in the specialist dementia unit.

The staff were especially caring and treated her with dignity and respect.

I worked in social care in Haringey for many years, understand that all theses institutions have their faults and am heartened when staff and managers listen and respond to concerns expressed by residents and their families as was the case with Lennox House.

Thanks Kieran for your expert advice, much appreciated. (Tuppence is doing well, by the way).

All residential care homes are inspected by the CQC (Care Quality Commission) on a regular basis. Their reports are freely available on the CQC website.

Additionally, be wary of any which doesn't welcome visitors outside of set times, or only by appointment.
