The care of older people in nursing homes like those run by Aperee is a cause of increasing concern for HIQA and others. Sage Advocacy recently published a Red C poll of public opinion on the issue of supports and care for older people. One of the significant findings is the public has a concern that home care and nursing home care have become overly concentrated in the hands of private providers and people feel we need innovation and new alternatives to nursing home care, especially with regard to not-for-profit organisations, to help meet the challenges of an ageing society in our economy.
