Background

We want the government to investigate the affordability of care homes.

Additional details

I do not see how some care homes can justify charges of £5000 to £7000 per month. I think that most of the people in these homes who have to self fund have worked really hard to buy their own homes, only to have to sell them to pay for care costs. Their money can be gone in a matter of years. I feel that this is unfair to them.
