    While I do agree that home care is desirable in most cases the practice of care provision does not always live up to it. I know from my own family of 'carers' turning up at 11:30 to prepare a breakfast only to be followed at 12 by 'meals on wheels' with lunch. As the person in question is diabetic this is obviously far from helpful.
    There is also the fact that very often the persons desire for 'independence' can often far exceed their ability to cope with it. In such cases residence in a good care home can actually give them more real independence by giving them the freedom to live as they please without having their days dominated by concerns as to when their meals will arrive, getting out to pay bills, worrying about accidents and a whole range of other worries that always crop up.
