Given the number of care homes that are closing "due to financial difficulties"
I would conclude they are not a sustainable source of income.
However locally it seems the Private equity mobsters have done their usual dirty tricks and overloaded the care home with debt.So no doubt they made a profit, while the council and other agencies have to try and re-house the very elderly and now poor residents.

My motherโs care home fits this dreadful private equity template. Slashed staffing levels, terrible food, raised fees and managerial chaos. No one I talk to seems to have heard how private equity operates. Dentists, vets and any small, well run organisations are fair game to these vultures. Totally evil. -
