Study blasts ‘rushed care’

MANY care homes are under such pressure they are not “getting the basics right every time”, a care watchdog has warned.

Healthwatch England said rushed staff meant some residents had to put up with help bells going unanswered or being given someone else’s clothes.

The Healthwatch report said most residents claimed care was good but others highlighted concern. It said residents were “picking up on the strain the system is under”.
