Just proves that all compassion has been taken out of the bean counters equation .
I do a lot of work on care homes ,currently I am working on a big retirement home in Morpeth run by Anchor ,I've been replacing the windows since February .The home is made up of self contained flats that retired people rent from Anchor but increasingly there are elderly people moving in that should really be in a care home ,sometimes carers have to come 3-4 times a day to feed, dress and wash people ,the home was not designed for that and surely it cannot be that cheap having that many carers running around
