the state of home care: state neglect?

A couple of weeks ago,  a radio 4 programme described the situation in home care for the elderly as that - neglect and it did not do it tentatively. The facts of serious abuse cases, care companies failing is only the tip of the ice berg, and not all difficulties are du to shortfall in funding. oreviewing a Care Home, as I did for a time as part of my role as a social worker, it shows if the Care Home owner thinks of their residents as a means of making money first - rather than his role to facilitate their life in dignity. And such impressions can be read against current guidelines, policies and - for what they are worth CQC standards. If the practise falls short of those standards, then that will have to be reported - before a resident comes  or even just feels less than comfortable. Thus far, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights has been a yard stick, to. However, even when that might not apply any longer, conscientous and detailed inspections/reviews and reports can protect standards. - Suffering in silence is never an option, in my view. I am available to assist.
