A person who needs care in what used to be called an 'elderly mental unwell unit'. Will pay (or the council will) a significantly higher amount per week than someone requiring physical and personal care. So you will frequently see people being treated/cared for in a lower grade (cheaper) environment than is warranted.

The difference between a 'care home' and a 'nursing home' is also being eroded because councils and the NHS are attempting to keep costs down. So people who would have been in a nursing home in the past are in care homes who are struggling to meet their needs at the lower room cost.

We of course want the very best care for our elders but are sometimes unwilling or unable to provide it ourselves. At the same time most people don't want to pay tax at a rate that will enable this to be provided by the government .

It's a discussion to be had, but like many that are uncomfortable or costly, one that many people avoid.
