Nursing and care homes should not be for profit
Nursing and Care Homes should not be in the hands of private companies.
I would ask the Government to ONLY license nursing and care homes to Charitable or Non-Profit making organisations, such as Registered Social Landlords or those providing services to other vulnerable people.
Elderly people having to move because a home is not profitable any more is disgraceful. No one should profiteer from old age in this way. Huge fees affect families, local councils and local tax payers.
In the voluntary sector, homes would have better investment with more money being used so staff have better training, reduce turn over of staff, have greater confidence from residents and relatives and reduce the incidents of abuse.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
