Social Care 7: The Benefits of Isolating in a Care Home

World at One

Available for over a year

In the next of his series, Andrew Bomford speaks with Anna Perrott, her father John and Rita’s social worker Amy. Amy has concluded that Rita requires care full-time, which she can only get in the care home. Despite this and his being restricted to a wheelchair, John feels guilty. Anna on the other hand believes her Grandmother may be happier in the home, where she has new friends, and bingo. And where she does not feel the impact of Covid.
