In this three part series Robinson tries to ensure more training is given to the nurses, the living area is furnished to a substantial standard and the residents are given more care and attention making sure they stay alive.

Strategist’s show that within the next twenty years one million of us will suffer from dementia. The good news is that if you are one of them, you probably won't have a bloody clue that you have it!
