3 huge problems with care homes, 1 small solution. | Debbie Harris | TEDxRoyalTunbridgeWellsWomen
We are living longer and we no longer have a multi generational family to support us - so who is going to look after us in our old age? Care homes are the answer, but not as they currently operate. There is a really simple solution that benefits everybody, residents, care home and community.
Debbie Harris, founder of Chosen with Care, lives in Tunbridge Wells, with her husband, and a rather gorgeous greyhound.
Having looked after a much-loved elderly aunt Debbie gained her first insight to care provision. Initially bemused, sometimes horrified, Debbie’s experience shaped a clearly-defined purpose and ambition:
‘to fundamentally change the way people view care homes,
and their expectations of living in a care home.’
In 2015, Debbie established Chosen with Care, one of very few organisations in the country that works with the elderly and their relatives, the medical and the legal professions, to search for, evaluate, and continually review, care homes for the vulnerable people that need them.
Above and beyond providing a finding service, Debbie is determined that Chosen with Care becomes a vehicle with a powerful voice that can help create a positive profile for the care industry.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
