GillsBlueNose- my mum was also a resident at Friston House when she died. Fantastic staff and care. As has been discussed on another thread (funding for the ill, not my mother) she had terminal cancer and dementia, due to the cancer her care was paid for by the Local Authority (would have been impossible for her to stay otherwise).
When my mum was in Friston House, Paul Haylock was working there, spent quite a bit of time talking to him - topman
