Frail elderly 'failed by care deserts' The system for looking after frail older people in England is falling apart, with what are being dubbed "care deserts" emerging, a charity says.
An analysis carried out for Age UK indicates about 30% of areas now have no residential care beds.
The situation is even worse for nursing homes - needed for the most frail - with more than 60% having no places.
Recruiting staff and keeping services running were proving a real challenge some areas, the charity said. BBC News
