Owners can’t keep their staff, staff can’t live on the awful wages, plus new regulations mean that a listed building has to be cared for in a certain way and the regulations from care standards mean that the owner can’t afford to bring the homes up to standard, also the amount that homes are paid by the council are falling so with some service users the care home is making a loss, then homes having to pay 3 x what the normal carers get to bring in agency staff because they don’t have enough staff for minimum staffing levels…..so many things destroying the care industry atm - and yes I’m a carer….or was until I had to start caring for a family member full time
