MY husband and I live in sheltered accommodation, which includes having the careline service with Bolton at Home.

Bolton at Home is always promoting people’s independence, but they are being hypocritical as they do not — because they are not giving residents the right to choose if they want the careline service.

People are being forced to have the service or they do not get the property, even if they are the right age. We are active, independent people and do not need this service, yet it is a good service for people who want it. We are sure there are a lot more people in our situation.

Wake up, Bolton at Home. We now live in the 21st century. Give people their rights to choose and independence back.
