Watford retirement home worries neighbours

July 26, 2018

Warwick Council is looking for more information about a retirement home in Watford.
Neighbours of Victoria Manor have recently started a petition concerned the home is not properly staffed and residents are not receiving good care.
Posts to a Facebook group detail incidents of home residents walking in the middle of the road and approaching neighbours asking them to call an ambulance because they’re ill.
Some are visibly soiled.
One account says a resident walked over to a home asking for an ambulance while the owner of the residence watched. He yelled over not to pay attention to her.
A petition is now circulating in the area listing the common concerns of people urinating on lawns, wandering onto private property, and people screaming throughout the night. The petition demands the owners of the home address the issues and that the township council helps to get the situation under control.
