Aspen Court Care Home is a purpose built 75 bedded care home offering Dementia, Nursing and End of Life care. The Friends aim to improve the quality of life of the residents of the care home by working with staff, residents and relatives.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from a grant maker
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
