I was delighted to visit Loddon Court respite service @Optalis and be welcomed into Ross' home @DimensionsUK. I saw the impact that respite care & independent living can have.
I was joined by @vicrayner @NCFCareForum & discussed the critical challenges facing adult social care.
We were delighted to welcome @SKinnock to @DimensionsUK & @Optalis in Wokingham Borough. He spoke to people who draw on care and support and their families to hear about what matters to them and how good support enables them to live how they want to. nationalcareforum.org.uk/ncf…
