Who
inspects these care homes?
The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) is required
by law to inspect all social care services in England and
make sure they meet certain standards. CSCI is joining campaigners
and service providers to share good practice in the fight
to stop older people being abused.

There Free Nursing Care?

What
Part Do Social Services Play?

for community care services and facilities such as care, respite,
devices, equipment and accessories, also services such as
meals-on-wheels.
