title: True cost of care.
abstract: In The wake of the shocking abuse of frail and vulnerable care home residents featured in a recent BBC Panorama documentary, the call for solutions is understandable. But, sadly, there are no quick or cheap answers. More inspections, installation of surveillance cameras in residents' rooms and prosecution of abusers might assuage public anger for now, but they are as likely to end abuse as to find a cure for dementia.
