Thanks @scottishcare and @DrDMacaskill for inviting me to share the work we did on the @FutureTimesStir project with @ActiveInquiry, @rarebirdmedia & our brilliant research participants

@melanie_lovatt brilliantly challenges the ageism in our society and present a positive creative and future oriented vision of older age. Just meeting our needs in older age is a low bar. We can do much better than language of burden. #keepingcareathome. #homecare23
