I got a phone call from a citizen today whose mother was in one of these care homes. In the context of the sensitivity and privacy of the citizens we are talking about, would it be the norm that a male would assist a male and a female would assist a female with bathing, washing and cleaning? In the case of an elderly woman, would a woman rather than a man look after her?
