What is going on in this house?

In an ideal world, populated by ultra obedient people, of course not. But as you may have noticed, this is not such a world.

And the carer would be in breach of client confidentiality if they divulged any information, so realistically that’s not going to happen.

The carers will not reveal any information about their client or even the setting if they are doing their job properly.

Yes you're right. Authorities might be wary of divulging anything. If it were me, I'd probably try to get talking to one of the carers. This can take ages, I know. It can start with nodding and then smiling and then building up to talking. But it might be the only way to find any real information.

I think there's nothing at all wrong with trying to find out in real life.

Talk to your other neighbours.

Oh they are interested.

They just don’t want to admit it, other what are they doing on this thread?

Yeah i’d agree with that, lots of people are very keen on helping the community until it’s their community. 🙄

I think it's reasonable to want to know what's going on in your own neighbourhood. Why not ask the local authority or failing this, your MP?

They can give you an outline without divulging anyone's personal details. If public money is being spent on this project it sould not be a secret from tax payers.

… havent read all messages but have you checked with local authorities/ council re change of use etc.

There might be bedridden patient living there, maybe someone who has something to do with secret service (strange but possible!)

I think they would only need 3 -1 if its cloudy though.

Maybe the man is a werewolf? It would take all 4 carers to restrain him during the full moons.

Depends if the person being cared for is paying for it all. Many do.

We have something similar in our street. It’s a normal detached bungalow with 2 bedrooms (I’m pretty sure it’s just 2) and there appears to be one person living there and always 2 support staff 24 hours a day. I know a few people that have worked as support for adults with severe learning disabilities and it’s not uncommon for them to need one or more person on hand 24 hours a day to deal with behavioural problems. The resident of the house or the support staff don’t cause any issues at all and tbh you probably wouldn’t even know the set up there unless you paid attention and are home a lots of different times during the day (as me and DP are-we’re self employed so don’t have normal hours or days we work).

Probably someone who needs support in the community. Nosy person you.

My first thought would be a weed farm.... but then I smoke it, not UK

I'm sure it's easy to make fake uniforms too.

Possibly employed by the faraway NHS department , but live locally?

I would say it’s someone with specific needs who is a danger when living with others.

Whatever work they do, the carers are probably legally and ethically forbidden to tell. What a costly situation, tho

Find a hobby that takes you away from the object of your fascination. You will find out soon enough anyway. As long as your new neighbours aren't coming into your property what does it matter?

”Dangerous men’ as you characterise them, do not escape their carers to attack people. In the two instances quoted on the thread, these were down to poor risk assessment, resulting in inappropriate and insecure care settings. The professionals charged with keeping these two individuals and those around them safe, failed miserably in their responsibilities.

And the problem now is NIMBY - no-one wants to live near care in the community facilities such as the one OP has described.

You weren’t clear on the amounts or exclusions, and many people look at these threads for information so I think it’s important to be accurate. And you gave the impression that care costs were based on savings alone. They’re not. Any and all personal income is assessed, including disability benefits in some areas. And if income is above the assessed minimum income guarantee, some or all of the care costs will be met by the person receiving care.

And not all local authorities will provide the short term care plan if the patient being discharged from hospital only requires personal care. There has to be either OT or physio home services input after discharge from hospital.

Yes society has moved further towards individualism but at the same time inclusion and part of that philosophy and ideology was agency, choice, people who struggle in society and community, living among society and community which was designed to give them greater empowerment and connection with others. Small state = lower oversight

I'll leave you to consider whether that has happened or not.

People very definitely wanted people not to be living in the kinds of institutions we had before care in the community, asylums, workhouses and almshouses etc. Appalling lack of stimulation, lack of care, isolated and ignored.
