Frightening - what do they do? Kick them out?
To be fair, I think it's £500k (not £m) of our money Tricky Rishi is spending to try to get people to like him again. |  | | |

Well, also I would think that many of the providers - be they local authorities or private - have very thin margins themselves so the knock-on effect is going to be further broad reduction in service quality.
There's also been a large Private Equity 'investment' into the care sector which was already having the same effect in search of 'guaranteed returns'...
It is indeed £500k, corrected. |  |

Yes.
It's a business these days, not a social service (which it should be).
The whole system is a mess. |  |

Home care should be integrated into local health services.
Everyone needing care gets assessed by the same teams and are on an equal footing, having care services within healthcare makes it easier to escalate concerns over peoples' wellbeing to the appropriate professionals and it takes it out of the hands of the sharks and the short-traders who make a profit based on the goodwill of the employees and reduces the amount of expensive buaureocracy required.

I support a few who can't read and write , still send letters through. A lot of shops take just cards and some haven't a clue how to use one , vulnerability. Hardly any social workers now especially mental health side. | | | |

That may be a somewhat bent statistic as you get assessed. Then quibble about the assessment - and the try and sell the family home with the clock ticking. Care costs are so vast it’s impossible not to fall behind when they’ve hoovered up the family silver | |

Families are unable to care for their elderly now, the old are pushed off to the side and forgotten about, nobody cares unless it's to score points, and the state is too bloated to manage it, so the private sector is reaping the rewards. Both Labour and Conservatives are responsible for this disaster and it's only going to get worse, as neither will change it either. This country is dead. |  |

Social care has been decimate since Lansley's 'reforms' in the early 2010s, made worse by a decade of savage cuts. | |
