Age Concern finds poor care for old
Age Concern finds poor care for old

The findings of an Age Concern survey highlight low standards at a fifth of care homes and home care providers.
Eighty per cent of people are "very concerned" about the quality of care they'll receive when they're old, with 40 per cent doubting they'll be treated with dignity and respect.
The report's publication coincided with the release of Lord Sutherland's review of free personal care in Scotland. This has identified a £40m funding gap and criticised London's actions since the policy was introduced.
