I think care homes are capped by how much they can increase what they charge each year , i pay a 'top up' fee to my local council not direct to the care home for my moms residential place.

and there are about 8 carers who work there, and 2 are pinoys but they all work long hours, so any increase is , as long as i don't have to pay

So unlikely for the carehome (a lot are privately owned and aiming to make a profit) to want to asorb the cost themselves. The councill will not be intrested as not enough of those cared for are ethnic minorities, ayslum seekers etc.

Remeber the non eu staff may also be say from african countries and india. We have two residental centres a street away from us and i see the 15-20 plus staff on each shift 50% who could possibly be non eu as well as phill so it may not just be the phill workers that the increase will cover.
