Seems there is a lot of fat left from over £1,000 unless you are
leasing and outsourcing everything?
Donkeyman! 🤔🤔🤔
Then there's staff costs, not just wages but loaded rate. Probably one or two staff overnight, four during the day at the very least.
Then Insurances, utilities, replacement of consumables, decoration, maintenance, and owners wages must be met.
Catering costs, laundry costs, and occasional transport plus of course taxes all have to be paid too.
And so with that lot, especially getting a reasonable return on upfront investment, a weekly income of 20 thou is cutting viability pretty fine.
Nonetheless a private care home really should not expect to rely on freebies from the NHS.

The lady who does my cleaning once worked in a private nursing home. The staff wages were pathetic, not enough to live a comfortable life on. The cost per 'inmate' was £1,100 per week. There were twenty living in this home, that makes a total of over £20, 000 a week being made by the home owner.
Surely they could afford to buy their own PPE to protect their staff and 'inmates'.
All of this brings up the question. Does anyone in authority really care about the aged. IMO those of us that reach old age are no longer of interest to governmental bodies.
