What has it been like to live or work in a care home over the last few months? To be the friend or relative of a care home resident, and unable to visit them? It has concerned me greatly, as we have seen a tragedy unfolding in care homes, that the voices of those who matter most, the ‘experts by experience’ have not been sufficiently heard. That’s why I’m publishing this report, which gives a voice to people living and working in our care homes and provides a snapshot of their experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic.
