Article Abstract:

A range of abusive practices occurring in care homes was examined. Levels of unfitness of people who wish to carry on the occupation of care home managers and proprietors were also analyzed.

Findings also showed that the failure to address the lack of qualified home operators would promote a decline in standards of care for residents.
