Resolved Question

Are care/nursing/residential homes a business?

Are they in the private sector or a national service etc

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

The vast majority are in the private sector, yet they do accept non private patients from local authorities that don't have the room and/or facilities. It is an immensely profitable business and with an ever increasing number of a working age population, the future looks very profitable for them.

• It depends which country you are from. Most countries they are in the private sector. Most countries have at least some state run hospitals. Other places where there is a health insurance system there are private hospitals where the treatment cost is borne by the insurance plans. The other part I guess is about care centres for senior citizens there are all kinds state-owned, run by private chariatble trusts and privately owned.
