The elderly people’s opinions
The main characteristic of the responses of the elderly people to the questions about private and local authority residential care was lack of knowledge. Fifty-six per cent of them said that they did not know what differences there were between private and local authority homes, and 10 per cent said they were all the same. However, the main difference seen by the others were that private homes were more expensive. There were few other comments on the differences. Some elderly people thought that facilities might be better in private homes, while others thought that private homes had fewer staff who were less well trained. There was a distinct impression of vagueness on the part of the elderly people about the differences between the two types of homes.
Two-thirds of the elderly people could not comment on the advantages of local authority and private residential care, but among those who did there were some fairly trenchant views. Local authority homes were seen to offer better care, to offer more inspection and regulation and to provide more and better staff. Some elderly people offered interesting comments on the security and accountability of local authority homes as they saw it.
