New Rule for Care Homes

FAILING CARE HOMES – Failing care homes could be put into a similar regime as poor-performing hospitals, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt will announce today. Every care home in England is to be inspected and rated in a new drive to prevent abuse and neglect of residents. From April next year those rated as inadequate face being put into special measures – and If they fail to improve within a set time limit they could be closed down.
