For this cost we have to provide:
- Three meals, two of which must be hot and a choice of meals,
- Personal care if required,
- All heating,
- Lighting,
- Water for washing and bathing,
- Endless drinks throughout the day,
- Snacks,
- Biscuits,
- Activities,
- Escorts to appointments
- Laundry service
With an ageing population I know this will be a major problem, but care homes will go bankrupt and then places that are needed will be lost. The cut backs are not efficient because instead of cutting services they should increase financial efficiency which the NHS and the government seem unable to do, one major cut would be to put a cap on managers and their wages some of whom get massive salaries, yet fail to provide a good service.
