Tip of the iceberg really. My wife is currently on placement in a private, "five star" care home as part of her mental health degree... the fees go all the way up to £50k + per year. And some of the things she's seen in less than 3 weeks have had her on the verge of reporting the place. This is somewhere that has near-perfect inspection reports. I can't really go into details for obvious reasons but some of the things she has seen ... ... ... well. TBH if I'm ever in the position of needing to go into a care home, someone please just wheel me near a cliff edge, and I'll do the rest.
