herfindings have prompted the former health secretary jeremy hunt to call for a closer look into thee care his dad received, and its cost. norman had dementia and was living in a care home near wigan. he wasn't there long before the family became concerned. sometimes he was dressed in clothes that weren't his. i once went in and he had a woman's blouse on. his dignity had been... gone a little bit. i was mortified when i looked at the bottom of his feet because they were as black as tarmac. i got an apology off the manager at the time. that was like a small snapshot, to me, of what was going on. the private equity—backed care home company says the home has a new senior team, but dale wants to know where the £1,000 a week his dad paid in fees went. he spent £125,000, paying a lot of money for his care. i was expecting a little bit more quality. private equity firms own some of the largest uk care home groups, and there are questions about whether too money leaks away from front line care, partly because of having complex structures with numerous companies, some in offshore tax havens.
