Cost of care

Further to your letters about the high cost of care homes, my husband is in a home and the monthly fees for it work out at just under £10 an hour. For this he has trained carers looking after him 24 hours a day, plus three excellent meals a day, and daily entertainment. In contrast, when he was at home I paid a carer more than £20 an hour just to get him up, washed and dressed. June Green, Surrey
