Southern Cross, Britain’s biggest private care-home operator, has been faltering since 2008. What now happens to Southern Cross will be widely watched. Southern Cross is not the first care firm that is in financial trouble. A health-care consultancy says that most of the 750 homes of Southern Cross are likely to keep operating. Since 2006 the occupancy levels of the homes have fallen because of the quality of the homes, it was below average. Because of this customers went elsewhere. Southern Cross is a business failure not a policy one.
I think that the elderly need better care. They have worked all of their lives, so if they need to go to a care home it has to be a good care home that provides everything for the elderly. The government should give money so this can be achieved. Southern Cross has to make sure that the quality of their homes is average or above average, but now they are below average, so they have to do something about this. They are in a financial crisis, thus the government should give them money.
