Resident funding and care home quality: a retrospective observational analysis of the impact of the two-tier care system in England
The quality of for-profit care homes is strongly influenced by the proportion of self-funded residents, whilst third and public sector homes provide consistent care regardless of resident funding source. This strongly impacts care equity for residents nationwide, as the concentration of self-funders is largely determined by area wealth.
