Care Homes should keep privately funded clients when their money runs out.
I want legislation to enforce that Care Homes that have privately funded clients that have lived in there for more than (eg 1 year) to commit to keep them when their private funds run out at council rates.
Because privately funded clients use up all their savings and sell their homes to live in a Care Home at great cost & if after living there for years all their money has been used and they require council funding, the homes often don’t accept council rates and the person has to be moved to another home. It is not fair! There should be legislation that prevents this from happening. Elderly people suffer and become disoriented when moved. They should remain in an environment they are settled in.
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:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about charges for private care homes are a matter for care home providers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
