A rising number of elderly people face losing “almost all of their wealth” to pay for social care, after the Government admitted it was “unable to commit” to reforming the system.

Young people with spinal injuries face discharge to homes for elderly people
Incurring a spinal injury when you're young is surely difficult enough without having to convalesce in a home for older people

Critical elderly care report is a 'wake-up call', says Jeremy Hunt

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/elderhealth/9698349/Critical-elderly-care-report-is-a-wake-up-call-says-Jeremy-Hunt.html


Older people are being let down by “systemic failings” in the NHS, leading health figures argue today, in an apparent riposte to a savage attack that the Health Secretary made last week about the “callous” behaviour of some staff.

Jeremy Hunt's free-market fanaticism means he can't preach about care
Hunt claims he won't stand for poor-quality care for the elderly – but his beloved free market deals only in money, not dignity or respect

What can be done to ensure care home residents get quality healthcare?
Reports suggest the availability of doctors in care homes has fallen short of what residents are entitled to. So what can be done to ensure these patients get the care they deserve?

Tougher regulation including possible new criminal legislation to strengthen corporate accountability could be introduced in the wake of the "devastating" scandal of abuse at the Winterbourne View private hospital, the Government announced today.

A fixation with business jargon and targets rather than basic morality has created a generation of nurses, social workers and carers almost incapable of stopping abuse, an expert overhauling their training has warned.

The elderly are victims of an ‘abominable betrayal’ as the generation who set up the welfare state are now being told there is no money to look after them, Prof John Ashton has said. - video
