I'll be blunt: these changes are going to kill people. They are going to result in more elder abuse and poorer quality of life for the most vulnerable members of our society. They're also going to drive more people into aged care: the exact opposite of the stated aims of this legislation.

It’s already turning into a bit of week 😰 Elderly Gt Aunt is clearly at the point of needing formal home help but has capacity & is refusing to accept it. Her neighbours are exhausted, and worried (as am I). How we can encourage her to accept a bit of carer support that would mean she can stay in her home? Can anyone recommend a home care company in North Norfolk? Is there temporary support we can call on over Xmas? 🙏🏻 #Ageing #Care #SupportAtHome #IndependentLiving #Norfolk #NorthNorfolk
