"98% of the adult care homes closed to protect people from harm were run by for profit companies. And 90% of children's homes.
Time to end this absurdity. Core public services should not be cash cows for private equity."
wow.. my parents had nursing homes. They were for profit. They were regularly inspected. They still exist today. I can't imagine what kind of crud or failures would lead to this
@Museek My siblings and I saw it when our mother went into long-term care. She ended up in four different facilities, any of which should have been able to care for her during the entire course of her decline but all of which followed the same pattern:
They would open with a high staff/client ratio, good care, excellent food, accommodating management; then some corporation would buy the place, or remind the manager they were supposed to turn a profit, and everything would go bad.
