How do you know you've chosen a good care home?  

Sky News Daily

Tuesday, 4 February 2025 - 17 minutes

A Sky News investigation has discovered elderly people in care homes across the country are being left unwashed in soiled sheets, unable to reach food and water, and suffering falls when left alone. The investigation also uncovered huge problems with how concerns about care homes are investigated – and the way these homes are rated by the Care Quality Commission. On this episode, Niall Paterson speaks to social affairs correspondent Becky Johnson, who explains the issue of neglect at care homes and explores whether the system designed to support better care is broken. Producer: Alex Bishop  Editor: Philly Beaumont
