Whilst care homes are improving the information they give to prospective residents, advertised fees for places in the same care home can vary hugely, sometimes from £650 to £1,500 a week, without a clear explanation of why some people pay more than others and what their money will buy. The report also showed that sometimes people paying for their own care can subsidise those people paid for by the local council, where councils negotiate lower rates. In areas without enough care services to meet demand, even those people moving into care homes who are funded by the council can be asked to pay ‘top-up’ fees to cover higher charges – as many as 75% of homes in some areas required a ‘top-up’.

In this report, 'The Human Rights of Older People in Healthcare (HL 156-1 / HC 378-I)', the Committee looks at how the principles of human rights can be applied to older people in hospitals and care homes to ensure they are treated with greater dignity and respect. It looks first at the current position before covering: the leadership of the Department of Health; the implementation of the Human Rights Act by service providers; health and social care inspectorates and the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE); the role of staff in protecting human rights; and empowering older people. The report finds that, although there are examples of excellent care, there are concerns about poor treatment, neglect, abuse, discrimination, and ill-considered discharge. There is a significant difference between the 'duty to provide' under care standards legislation and the 'right to receive' under human rights legislation and the culture needs to change. The Committee recommends legislation and a role for the Commission for Equality and Human Rights, and also recommends measures to strengthen human rights obligations and duties, including better guidance and standards, and bringing private and voluntary care homes into the scope of the Human Rights Act
