La_Dolce_Vita Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Fucking scum. It's her home and she is happy there, and I assume the others are too. That SHOULD be all that matters. I appreciate that in the society we live in that finances matter and cuts need to made in some areas but there does appear to be a callousness in how the decisions and feelings of those whose homes these places are given a say. It may be state funded, but it is their home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integer Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I don't see the problem. If they have to close an old peoples home because it's below acceptable standards, surely "having old people in it" isn't a reason not to. Better that than ten old folk burning to death because the place is unsafe, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Dolce_Vita Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I suppose we don't know what those 'care standards' are though. I am assuming such standards were reformed in order to lead to the situation where they want to take these people out of their homes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integer Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 That's quite an assumption. I'd assume care homes fall under national statutory regulations and the local council have their hands tied. Do you really think a local council can justify a £2 million expenditure to house 19 old people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
