Eldery care-make inspections of all homes in the UK unannounced

Additional Information

To make all inspections of elderly care homes and care providers unannounced and regular. The elderly and vulnerable deserve to be treated with dignity and compassion.
All care workers should be given appropriate training and the interview process should be stringent in order to ensure that only people who are genuinely interested in providing good care are offered positions. Too many care providers take on anyone in order to fill vacant positions frequently resulting in people becoming carers just because it’s a job and not because they care about people. Low pay and unsociable hours mean any good staff feel undervalued and stressed.
The Government should increase the basic pay for all care workers and legislate that relevant qualifications are required for any type of care work. This should also apply to the recruitment of Health Care Support Workers within the NHS.
