People who are living alone with no immediate family get comfortable with their carers. A lot of intimate care is needed, so I assume people get used to their carers. Where the quality of care is excellent, as I am sure it is in most cases, there is no problem. However, if the quality of care is less than that, it creates an issue. Should carers be rotated so that there is not a single carer for an individual, in order to pick up issues?
