Failing 5 Star Care Homes

BBC Radio 5 Live - 5 Live Investigates, Failing 5 Star Care Homes

The substandard care homes with five star ratings.

Adrian Goldberg investigates why care homes that claim to have a five star rating are failing to meet the minimum standards of the national regulator.

Can you trust the claims of a care home? We hear about the care homes awarded a five star rating, but which are failing to meet even the minimum standards of the national regulator. Adrian Goldberg investigates the private companies behind the star ratings and asks why some local authorities are paying premiums to care home owners whose ratings don't match up with reality.
