The governments idea of care in the community is a joke (IMHO) and lots of elderly people who would previously been able to go into residential care are now being forced to remain in their homes - often causing a lot of stress on family.
The reason there are no residential homes is because the government has closed / is closing all the state run homes and outsourcing to private nursing homes. Often an elderly person does not need nursing care but at the same time is too vulnerable to remain at home. From my experience there is a serious gap in the social care system.
AIBU to think of opening a private residential care home after I was told be a Social Worker that she would be able to fill it?!
