Background
There needs to be a law regarding care & nursing homes to ensure the safety of residents to:
- have a minimum staff to resident ratio
- mandate transparency & full breakdown of care fee calculation to be provided when required
- ensure care fees should be the same regardless of who pays the fees. Those self-funding currently pay more than council funded residents to balance the books.
- require a good command of the English language to ensure better communication with people being supported
