We must STOP perpetuating this negative & factually inaccurate narrative.Generally care homes R vibrant diverse & V safe places to work & care. Started my career in care and now supporting 6 not for profit beautiful homes with fabulous Residents staff and carers. @CrystalOldman
Deaths from Covid-19 continuing to rise in care homes against broader trend. Says something about them as places of safety for older and disabled people eh? still treats like dustbins for profit eh by the squalid care market?

My son Quinn answered a request from local hospitals for help making “ear guards” to take the pressure off medical personnels ears from wearing masks all day. He got busy on his 3D printer and has turned out hundreds to donate. We need help we can’t keep up to demand!
Our engineers and @LeedsHospitals have developed a fix to turn sleep apnoea machines into ventilators.
Estimates indicate thousands of similar devices across the #NHS and rapid modification could significantly increase respiratory support availability ⬇️

This is why we make a difference-my GPNs are contacting our high risk patients and today bought and delivered a bag of food to an elderly and isolated patient who had run out of food and had no supportive network to help. So very proud to be part of such a team @WeGPNs #angels
