Sixteen private rest homes were visited to assess their facilities and the types of disability of the residents. Apart from one home, which was a hotel for the elderly, all the homes provided care for physically and mentally frail elderly people over the long term. Although care was good the trends in the use of the homes are worrying, and stricter regulations are required to ensure appropriate levels of care. Greater support is also required from district nursing services.
走访了16家私立养老院，以评估其设施及入住老人的残疾类型。除了一家是老年酒店外，其他所有养老院都长期照料身体和精神虚弱的老年人。尽管护理服务良好，但养老院的使用趋势令人担忧，需要更严格的规定来确保适当的护理水平。地区护理服务也需要提供更多支持。
