Home from Home: Journeys into Care for Older Adults
Keziah Wenham-Kenyon has been having conversations with people that make up a fragment of the sprawling social fabric of the care system for older adults. This three part series will take a closer look into care, from perspectives that are underrepresented and intersections that require more compassion-led, people-focused support than traditional forms of care are currently providing.
Season 1 is also available now, produced and composed by Jennifer Bell of stories gathered from people across the country of their experiences of the care system for older adults in the UK.
