Elderly are being 'taken for a ride' by care homes charging thousands in hidden fees, health minister warns Vulnerable elderly people are being “taken for a ride” by unscrupulous care homes charging them thousands of pounds extra in hidden fees, a health minister has warned.
Care homes have been found to be charging families for care for weeks after residents had died, selling dead residents’ possessions and keeping the cash, and demanding fees for services which were never provided.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) today ordered care homes to provide the public with upfront and fair information, amid concern that families are falling victim to underhand tactics that cost them dearly. The Daily Telegraph
