It absolutely is. Residential homes are being strangled by red tape and rules, while there are no rules in homecare whatsoever. The biggest branch of homes here in South Bucks are trying to change all the contracts for staff so they are all the same- reduce the pay to minimum wage and lose all night, weekend, DRP enhancements and a week of annual leave.

TRT you can bet that your care costs more than you are paying - it's just social services are taking up the slack
