Hundreds of elderly people do not receive a good standard of care despite forking out thousands of pounds for support.
An assessment by The Argus of the most recent reports from the Care Quality Commission watchdog has shown 14% of the 458 homes listed do not meet the its key standard of either “good” or excellent”.
This is despite a Government report revealing people spend an average of £50,000 on care when they are elderly.
Using the most recent reports from the CQC, The Argus can reveal there are more than 1,500 spaces at the 61 elderly homes in the city.
This does not include those homes which specifically provide care for those with mental illnesses or other conditions.
Thousands more are available to the 300 more homes dotted across East and West Sussex.
See below for a full comprehensive breakdown of the state of elderly care in Sussex.
See today's Argus for the full story.
