  1. CW: Private equity rears its ugly head.

    5. I’ve lost faith in them completely.

    Much as I admire some of the nursing staff, who work bloody hard, it’s obvious that the home is being run down from its starting point, to extract maximum cash for its investors.

    I knew little about how private equity works, but once you see it in operation, you realise why it’s such a cancer in our society.

    I’m reaching out to another home.

  2. CW: Private equity rears its ugly head.

    3. The management showned up half an hour later on an unintelligible team call. Imagine a hallway packed with 60 elderly residents and family, trying to listen to a man warbling on a laptop, which was an amplified by holding a karaoke microphone next to the speaker. To add a dash more fubar, the speaker was set to add some weird echo/delay. Utter chaos.

    Venting here, apologies. Thread
    1. After dropping their CQC care home rating from ‘good’ to ‘needs improvement’, and losing 3 managers in the space of 6 months, the management at my mum’s care home thought they’d print some bullshit PR to reassure (gaslight) everyone that things weren’t on the slide.

    It included satisfaction statistics that were entirely unattributed/fictitious (see pic).

  4. The Royal Mint Museum have the largest fleet of Museums in Boxes.

    Care homes anywhere across the UK can get in touch with them and borrow a Box to run reminiscing sessions.

    They've just hit the milestone of 1000 loans! (And are happy to send out more, so drop them a line if you're interested)

  5. So what are good questions to ask when looking at assisted living? What are red flags? How do I pick?

    Audio Story
    This audio file tells the story of a local woman, but also of so many people in their declining years. An 8 minute listen, read by the author, that is, myself.

  12. Anyone who is surprised that #MattHancock seems to have rewritten his 'diary' entries to indicate #carehome #covid infections were caused by staff, rather than his policy intervention of sending patients to care homes without testing for #coronavirus, hasn't really understood the mendacity & corruption of the #Tories!

  13. Likewise, on the #urban scale, the location of a #CareHome impacts opportunities for mobility and ways of engaging in city life for elderly people but also chances of meeting others and being visited - we investigate access to points of interest as well as centrality of location for all 149 care homes in #Nanjing #China using #SpaceSyntax analysis methods.
