Concern is far too weak a word for this

an example

"In Aperee Living Tralee, the April inspection found the home did not have a separate resident client account and residents' monies were paid into the centre's current account.

Eight of these residents currently resided in the nursing home, while three had passed away and their funds had yet to revert to their estates.

A review of available records suggested that, at times, residents would not have been able to access their money should they wish to do so and that their money was used to support the day-to-day operations of the centre.

HIQA said that residents were not made aware that their money was being used at times to fund the day-to-day running of Aperee Living Tralee.

Inspectors also noted that people who were not employees of Aperee Living Tralee Limited had requested transfers of money out of the current account in Aperee Living Tralee to other accounts not connected with this registered centre and many of these transfers were seen to include residents' money."

Time for a complete cleanout of all management in all of them and give the licence to someone else

Nursing homes and creches can be license to print money with lots of dodgy cr** going on.

"Pile them in and mind them with the cheapest unqualified labour possible" seems to be the operational model used by a lot in both industries.
