Michelle Hanson asks:

When my mother was alive, I took her to both Rosemary’s health spa and
to a local care home. It wasn’t a nursing home – my mother was able to
wash and dress herself and move about – but entertainment and
activities were minimal and the food was grim: the customary dessicated
chicken legs and bits of quiche and (imagine this for an elderly Jewish
woman prone to constipation) white bread ham sandwiches for supper.
This wretched place cost exactly the same as the health spa. How can
the spa do it for that price, and also manage respect for guests,
fabulous food, wholemeal bread and attractive surroundings? We just
can’t work it out.

Could it be anything to do with the regulations that surround care homes but which do not surround health spas? Just askin’, you know?
