title: Care homes.
abstract: Essential facts: About 450,000 mainly older people live in more than 17,000 care and nursing homes in England. Following concerns about mistreatment and the standard of care some residents receive, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) introduced a new inspection regime for care homes in October last year. A recent report on almost 10,000 care homes in England found that one in five failed to meet national standards for safety and care.
