Canvassing opinion to see if IABU to consider notifying someone about this.. Opposite my house is a care home which looks after very vulnerable men,they are like toddlers really and incapable of looking after themselves and need constant care. I was looking out of the window today and saw that one of the men had managed to wander into another neighbour's garden, there was no carer around. Anyway I went to care home to tell them what I had seen. A woman asnwered the door(I didn't approach the man as wasn't sure if I would frighten him, he appeared distressed)and I told her the man was in the adjacent garden. She said 'who is it, where?' but didn't come out with me but shut the door. I waited outside to keep an eye on the man and a few minutes later another carer came out and led the man back inside. I was concerned that noone was aware that the man was missing (no idea how long he had been out) as the men are really incapable of looking after themselves.
Also, the care home stank of smoke - is this acceptable in a care home? I doubt the men are capable of smoking.
Should I do anything about what happened?
