Elderly care home review responses 'disappointing'

Care inspectors and ministers have been criticised for failing to explain in detail how they will improve life for elderly people in care homes.

Older People's Commissioner Sarah Rochira said she was "disappointed" with their responses to a 2014 review.

It found elderly residents "quickly become institutionalised" in homes seen as places of "irreversible decline".

The Welsh government said it was taking "strong action" with new laws to improve the regulation of care homes.
