Our member @homecareassn's report reveals:
35% said most discharges they were involved in were not safe
55% of providers said discharge paperwork doesn't reflect the person's needs & views
63% said people are being discharged from hospital too soon, leading to readmission.

New paper from our SUPPORTED study of homecare at end-of-life. Findings from a rapid review of homecare @ EOL. Key findings - HCWs provide support in complex situations & emotionally demanding situations, yet can be isolated and under-valued within the wider care team #socialcare

Homecare workers - do you work 'in a bubble' & with only a 'breadcrumb trail' of notes and information to connect you to colleagues? See below for information about @RachelKelso12's work to bring together homecare workers for support & to get a place at the policy table ⬇️

For my dissertation I'm speaking to care workers to understand how they perceive the work they do, how they think others perceive it, and what they make of the current focus on professionalising the workforce. Do you know any potential participants? Please do get in touch / share

"The thought of going into a care home scares me" - Portstewart man DJ Calvert, who was born without hands or legs, got a care worker to help him shower and get dressed when his mum took ill.
But now his care plan is in jeopardy.

I crossed paths with another home care worker at last week's @NottsCareAssoc conference. We had a long chat and I learned that Michele writes poetry about care work! Here's a lovely one about why the social side of our job is so important: homecarewg.org/post/two-side… #qualityofcare

As a home care worker myself for the last five years, I've always wished I had longer to chat to my colleagues when I do see them. So I've set up homecarewg.org to see what is possible

If you know any home care workers, please let them know about homecarewg.org where they can find information, support and community
