No Place Like Home: The Inside Story To Supported Living starting now. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
An almost 40% increase in the serious harm or death of people in supported living over 8 years. #Fileon4
Chas and Dave are shining mind. Singing a song for Tommy. 👊 #Fileon4
The mouldy mattress story is one I've heard before with another young man. Parents as police as those who should scrutinise/regulate simply don't. #Fileon4
Shades of the experiences of the Tozer family with @mencap_charity. 'I'd spent the previous 6 months in tears' says one mother about John's (appalling) care.
Feeling chilled by the selling of 'supported living' as the bright and brilliant new way by councils/providers disinterested in anything other than dosh. #Fileon4
Stress induced alopecia, inadequate personal care and hospitalisation for Lauren. Marcus and Marcus the care provider said lessons have been learned. #Fileon4
Meanwhile, the @CareQualityComm inspected the head office of Marcus and Marcus. They can't enter people's homes to inspect.
Unexpected deaths and serious injuries. 2041 unexpected deaths between 2011-18 (40% increase). A 279% increase in injuries in the same period. #Fileon4
The @CareQualityComm declined to be interviewed. This simply ain't good enough. #Fileon4
The abjectly cruel and vile business of learning disability monetisation is being carefully unpacked by this programme. I feel sick.
Care provider 'key holding' ties the person to the particular provider (and allows staff sharing). Outside the @CareQualityComm lens. There is no choice here.
My ears are weeping at the 'we consider best practice is...' from the @1adass boss. Not good enough mate. From your swanky tower.
Jayne Knight is blistering and authoritative; we're coming full circle creating quasi-institutional care homes under the banner of independent supported living.
