Re: Do we really care care about the elderly ?
The people in these homes are paying up to £600 per week for the privelege(if you can call it that) of being looked after. Some of these old folk will have had to sell their homes to pay for this so called 'care'.
If I am right......I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, the nursing home in question is a facility for those elderly who have problems with dementia, the wanderers, the old folk who need more than just someone to clean up after their accidents.
I know from experience that it is difficult to look after these old people safely in their own homes......they need someone with them 24/7.
As for the answer, I don't have one.
We are all living longer, and this is the result.
