Indeed. The care industry being in public ownership, considering their abysmal track, is something that should be talked about more.

Long term care is a loving shitshow and I see no benefit to finding ways to ship pensioners off to shithole carehomes so that rich cunts can take their houses.

Not wanting to move because they'll lose their house is a very real barrier to old people getting proper care. Removing it should be at least one positive side effect of this policy.

Obviously it's still a poor way of funding social care, but I think considering Labour has not promised any changes in this area it's fairer to compare it to the system we have now rather than the perfect system we can easily imagine.

Agreed, also true of care for others. Universal cap of £100k for everyone, everything else taken by the state.

Surely nationalising care homes will require a metric poo poo tonne of money to fund? Like health and social care is currently breaking as is money wise, that's with the majority of care homes privately ran.

Yes, you have to spend money to look after the sick, it does not turn a profit.

I'm well aware of this fact, and never said a profit should be made... I'm just saying personally the nationalisation of care homes doesn't seem like the way forward

Leave the running of these homes the private organisations, however you could (as i've already mentioned)
- cap the cost of care (like rent controls)
- create a proper, compulsory training framework for care assistants, in hospitals our NA's undertake NVQ's however I don't believe this is something that is compulsory for care homes
- proper living wage for all grades of nursing staff
- more emphasis on community based care, more specialised nurses/advanced practitioners in care home environments to help reduce hospital admissions (where possible)
- on this points, give care homes frequent visit by a named CNOP
- standardise the care plans for residents
- allow the CQC to be stricter in inspections, increase fine amounts

If care homes aren't run by the state then they are run by private companies, which by design expect to make a profit. Usually from public funds.

1) People with lots of money won't have to do anything with their houses at all for the same reason they currently don't. End of life care cutting into the inheritance is only a concern for people without much to inherit.

2) Does absolutely nothing to address the fact that this is is still forcing low income people to fork over money to private care providers because there is no state alternative, that rich people would do anyway because they can afford it. It is a byzantine method of privatizing healthcare and is bad for all the reasons that privatizing healthcare is bad full stop.

So get hosed you smug oval office.

1) End of life care will not cut into any inheritance under £100k? This would protect people without much to inherit. £100k isn't a small sum, most people would dream of that.

2) The state will pay for the care, and will recoup the cost when the elderly person and their partner dies and the estate is liquidized. Private healthcare already makes a killing out of providing care, this will do nothing to change that. It just repays more of the cost to the state that the state paid out to the company.

I guess I'm just confused as to why the care of the asset-rich elderly should be paid for by workers who'll never be able to afford a home? Half the time in this thread it's baby-boomers-ate-my-baby, but now they're having to use some of their wealth it's bad?

If you cap the cost of care and raise the minumum standard of care then what makes you think you will substantially improve the cost/quality ratio from now if carers are extremely underpaid and care quality is terrible? Your plan involves a lot of government subsidy and inspection, in which case, why not get rid of the middle man?

The measure in question only applies to people who literally have enough wealth to buy a brand new private submersible, and guarantees that their inheritors will also receive at least enough wealth to buy a private submersible, so if they found themselves in the position of the guy at the bottom of the ladder in that poster, they could solve their problems by hopping into their private sub and motoring away merrily under the waves.

Workers who will never afford a home probably won't pay tax and now won't be able to inherit a home either and thus get to spend even more of their life renting. The "asset rich elderly" is anyone who owns a drat house at this point, even if its falling to bits and they paid half a bucket of lint for it when they bought it.

If you own a house but can't afford care you're probably not going to leave your house to a rich person, you're going to leave it to your can't-afford-anything-because-house-prices-are-idiotic kids or grandkids and give them a chance to get out of the private renting market.

The people who should be paying are the loving rich cunts, go after their fortunes before you go after the one bit of money most people in the country will ever see.

wouldn't it be cheaper to pump the money into the current infrastructure, rather than having to buy out/build new buildings, facilities, staff etc?

as with most things brought into public ownership, won't we eventually see centralisation of resources, and nursing homes turned into little more than large end of life farms?
