Wait until they find out about how much profit there is in elderly homes for us

Wait?
The "village" my grandparents moved into had to be bought into, which is fine.
They had to sell their house to do so, again fine.
When they died, we couldn't sell it, the village "bought it back" from us, for about 1/4 of what was paid for it AND we had to have it repainted and new carpets etc at our expense.
I understand the new tenants bought it at market rate, which is a HUGE profit for the company running the village.
And it's not like that expense paid for the various shared facilities or groundskeeping or anything like that, no that was all fees on top.

Long rant, didn't read: The government needs to step in and take control of this, private companies can't be trusted.
