Yes, I saw it & agree it showed caters in a good light. Round here carers (who also do personal care, deal with 'challenging' behaviour & administer medication for people with life threatening illnesses) get paid less than cleaners!
Social care is so underfunded and under-staffed, people who set the policies/staffing levels have no idea - they forget that the job entails real people - you can't drop everything to answer a phone or buzzer if you are supporting someone. Employees more staff and accept that your profits will be lower!

I thought this really showed carers in a good light, I do hope the boss really takes on board what she experienced whilst under cover, as they would then be the type of care home that I would like to end up in

Ill try to find th channel itnwas late a nigjt i didnt notice..I think possibly channel 4 at a guess xx

It was Channel4 so it might be repeated on More4 or 4seven and it should be available online on 4OD. There's a good article in the Guardian about the programme too and that is available online also.
