Thanks for sharing this excellent work @donnawakefield.bsky.social. The suitability and experience of home is likely to be so influential to community-based care, but rarely discussed.

I agree 💯. What's needed to drive change is both stories (vision) and meaningful data.
trishaelliott.bsky.social Trisha Elliott @trishaelliott.bsky.social · Feb 19
We need to move beyond discussing social care purely in abstract terms.

It’s interesting how some people are influenced by data, and others by stories. (I think we need both, to be honest).

Good social care enables people to thrive and not just survive.

Quotes from @drdmacaskill.bsky.social ⬇️⬇️
Too often, social justice is discussed in abstract terms – poverty, inequality, exclusion – without recognising that social care is where these issues play out most starkly. Social care supports older people, individuals with disability, and those living with mental health conditions. It ensures that people are not trapped in their homes, isolated from their communities, or living in fear of not having their most basic needs met. It is the safety net that allows people to thrive, not just survive.
