30%-40% of public money given to England's care homes vanishes in profits, little left for frontline services. Almost all care homes forcibly closed between 2011 and 2023 were operated by for-profit companies. Profits and care can't be combined. Watch the Minister's reply.
“If you love anyone and they are in a human body, you should expect to provide care,” says Emily Kenway, author of “Who Cares.” She talks about the inevitability of caregiving and how unprepared most people are. @emilykenway @MichelMcQMartin
@gwensteroony @ShaunLintern @CareQualityComm Always, always ask about overnight and weekend staffing levels, then do the maths, then ask the questions. And yes, meds rounds CAN/do take hours: *where is the cover for that?* How are pts effectively and safely even supported to move or be made comfortable with one person?
We're working with @CarersTrust on a project about the reality of Carers Rights for Carers Rights Day. We've got a real quick couple of questions we'd love you to answer. No long surveys here. It will take mins. Please RT and share. Link here bit.ly/3NrCB8Z

🔋 Unpaid carers need support to recharge our batteries. Share our award-winning film with your candidates so they understand the reality of caring today and spread the word about our #RunningOnEmpty campaign buff.ly/3yCz5o8 buff.ly/3yzxLlX
1.5m people provide 50+ hours of unpaid care each week, without which our health & care systems would collapse. The next Government must invest in social care so everyone can access the support they need. Sign our open letter ahead of the #GeneralElection go.carersuk.org/446hgcr?utm_so…
If anyone happens to have a spare ticket they would like to sell for Bill Callahan @bathyspheral gig (preferably Fri 27th Sep!) @ICALondon please DM me.
Sir Andrew Dilnot wins my award for patience as he yet again talks @BBCr4today through how “we can have good lives” but can’t keep turning away from the realities illustrated by social care’s need for reform.

Brianna Ghey's mum Esther shows us all what human compassion is capable of (Emma too, for being able to receive it.) We all need to take time today to absorb the magnitude of what she is doing. Forgiveness is the hardest path to take. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-684944…
