Health insurance provider Bupa is failing to meet basic standards of care in more than half of their nursing homes.
22 of Bupa’s 72 nursing homes have been declared as putting the health and safety of residents at “serious risk”.
The Minister for Aged Care and Senior Australians Richard Colbeck said the Department of Health are closely monitoring Bupa’s performance with weekly progress meetings.
Aged Care Crisis member Lynda Saltarelle belive Bupa will not be taken down.
"They have a terrible record, but I just think that Bupa is too big to fail," said Ms Saltarelli.
