Britain is also into care villages
Posted on March 30, 2010, by admin, under Elderly Care.
In the 1960’s care homes were few and far between, and going to one was then seen as a luxury. Sadly that opinion has died off of late, care homes are now seen as more of an expensive inevitability than any real gratification. With a care home or nursing home on every nearly street, the market has squeezed to fit our ageing population. Sadly, so has the competitive nature of the industry. Smaller family run care businesses seem to be now a thing of the past, as larger, modern luxurious facilities take the glimmer off smaller family run care homes that cannot compete. The term care village was labelled on the larger care facilities by American care providers in the late 40’s.
