I was sad to read the letter from Cllr Dawn Bennett accompanied by the heart-stopping picture of the elderly gentleman hanging on the fire escape.
We do not know the facts, or what turmoil the gentleman was going through, as it is a private matter.
What I do know is (as a former care worker) Princess Alexandria House is an outstanding home with the most attentive staff I have met.
I visit an elderly friend and am warmly welcomed. The staff show endless patience and kindness to residents.
We should remember it is a retirement home, with residents free to come and go as they please. It is not a prison with locked doors.
