Why do people have to pay £800 a week or more to keep an elderly relative in a care home? I think care homes should be nationalised, making them totally free.
Demand for care homes will soon soar out of control as more elderly folk, many with dementia, need to be looked after. All our working lives we pay National Insurance contributions, surely entitling us to this well-deserved benefit?
