If people looked after their own parents in the way their parents looked after them instead of palming them off away from view in these shabby ran care homes then this wouldnt be a problem. Since These care homes have to charge to look after them and then get blasted about charging them, then these old coffin dodgers are as much as nuisence to the care home as they were to their own children who chucked them in there.

Hi,
Glad to hear that Ian Rapley has apologized, however I have doubts whether these companies will change their behavior including financial. It is a travesty that these companies are allowed to charge such extreme prices for their services-see other related blogs where they charged business Nectar points on gas accounts that their owners weren’t able to pay! Tell all these residents that they are able to sack the companies involved and do it differently!

Just think how it would be if *all* senior commercial managers within these organisations were as competent as Mr. Rapley in dealing with adverse customer comment and subsequent media exposure.

No doubt (and in the very near future) we can expect an announcement by the appropriate Board(s) of Management of an early and “mutually acceptable” arrangement, whereby Rapley will be described as having decided to “retire early”, “devote more time to his family” or maybe even “pursue new challenges in order to consolidate his commercial career and build upon his professional management expertise”.

One such challenge – and arguably the most immediate – will be the unenviable situation of Rapley finding himself having to survive on the meagre pittance arising from a contractual pay-off and inflation-proofed private pension.

One’s heart bleeds, does it not.

You have been able to do more research than me-I too hold the veiw that political correctness is ridiculous in this country and taken to extremes being hijacked by some to achieve their own aims. However in this case, it shows up the secret thinking of the man and some in general in this country towards those in need…………the elderly, and those who have served the younger generation. It also shows up the financial aspect because of it’s context-big monied organisations making money out of the less able…….

This man is a fool and condemned by his own words. He will be responsible for a huge fall in his company’s reputation and/or share price. The personal offence he will have caused to thousands will go unpunished unless he is sacked
