We have visited care homes and the quality of services provided vary to such an extent that in some facilities, we are at part with the best in the world and some are ‘business establishments’ masquerading as care homes or de-addiction centres, extracting money from those who need these services. In some of the centers we visited which are taking care of the elderly and those with mental illnesses are not even having a nurse or a qualified healthcare workers and house 40-50 people collecting large sums of money and families pay up as they cannot keep such a patient at home. The objective of this guideline is to provide recommendations regarding various aspects of care delivery at care homes and home care settings and to improve the quality of care that a care home provides.
