I’m very thankful we never let my Mum go into a care home. I’m sure most are good and the residents well looked after, but some stories I’ve heard, some from care workers themselves, do disturb me.
I was talking with a friend of mine at length on the issue and spoke about how user-owned and worker owned cooperatives, with career paths for the right people, could increase the quality of care, and the quality and happiness of those who work in the industry. I believe this would be a great way forward, but a difficult one.
With an ageing society, it is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
I’m sure there are a number of NSC’ers who are affected by this issue in one way or another, and it would be good to see people’s thoughts.
