I think this is aimed at lonely OAPs with no family to look out for them.

It's aimed at any age group post surgery who live alone...

Who live alone without much of a support system around them?

I doubt many people a lot younger than that age group would be at all interested in recuperating in a stranger's house or that many of them would have a problem with no family, friends, neighbours.

It's probably open to all ages, but we know which age group would predominantly benefit from it.

If you can't get out of bed you can't get out of bed no matter what age you are, nobody will benefit from this, its not care, it's just moving the problem into a B and B ...what happens when you need your dinner

I assume the "B&B" nature of the scheme includes food?

Yes, but it's for the lonely people who don't have much in the way of visitors and people looking out for them. There'll be a lot less patients outside of the OAP age range.

I imagine anyone in great need of constant medical attention would qualify to remain in a bed in hospital. This is for those who need a little time to recuperate, live isolated lives but are otherwise fine to be out of hospital.

B and B is what it says on the tin, no one is going to provide 3 meals a day and a room for 50.00, 90 kids a day are taken into care most of those will stay there who will be there for them in young adulthood? Or If they need surgery, it's a cop out to say it's elderly people who will need this predominantly
