There are few council care homes now, most of them are private and they rely on the fact, in my opinion, that most carers are women and women will accept lousy wages if they have family commitments and no real qualifications. Care home offer training, but the qualifications they offer are really basic.
There are some excellent care staff, but unfortunately, because of low wages a great deal of care staff are not so good.
There should be, in my opinion, proper training for care workers and they shouldn't be allowed to care before they are trained.
