The majority of our work here is care homes. The prices gary says is about what we charge but be aware the common areas such as lounges, dining rooms & corridors are normally done either 6am or after 8pm or even later. We tend to do the bedrooms in batches of 5 (Get lots of urine neutraliser ).
I hope this helps
Regards
Tim

I would say £1500.00+, you MUST insist that staff are there to take care of the inmates while you are cleaning, the last time I did one of these the staff couldn't care a toss and one old lass ended up with her feet tangled in my cables!!!

I had a bad experiance with a N home once, in short one of the inmates (as John suggests there called  ) had bad dimensia, and after being screamed at in language ive never herd before she went nice as pie and asked me to clean under her slippers  when i obliged, bang crack came her zimmer frame around my back puttin me to the floor and well in short I was stuck and had to phone reception to come and sedate her, took six of them

they may look old and feble but be warned 

Good luck to any one cleaning N homes in Hayle

just to be politacly correct if you do have to refer to those who live there. best call them "service users" and not inmates or patients  lol

I would say the correct term is Residents, I used the word that I did because they are treated as such by the (Underpaid) staff, although after saying that there are staff there that do care. A job that I could not do.

Also remember although its 32 rooms of 12x12 you will have to stop, move and start the next room 32 times so its not going to be as quick as you think.  It would be really great if the staff could close the complete corridor so you could just tear away and not worry about hose hazards etc.  The rooms themselves could take a few days depending.

Another tip is wear your shorts as these places are sweat houses.

Good point Mark- they crank the heating right up to make everyone snoozy. That & working late it does make the job hard work.
Just a quick story - I was quoting a care home & one of the residents (asleep in a chair) suddenly shouted HORNY!!, right when I walked pass   . I concluded my quote in record time that day and sprinted for the van
