Imagine you had just arrived in Kent and you had a look at the Consultation Questionnaire. This question looks ok - or does it? Look at the extra information that make the first two statements seem more appealing! I leave it to you to guess what Kent County Council are looking for!
Place in order of 1-3 with 1 being your preferred choice of how you would like to receive care services, should you need them.
Care services delivered to me at home to allow me to live at home for as long as possible

Care services delivered to me in a way that means I keep my independence, stay included in the community and get access to 24-hour care (as in Extra Care Housing)

Care services delivered in a residential care setting

The legal process to save Bowles Lodge is over but the spirit of Bowles Lodge lives on!

- This blog is about a campaign I led to prevent Lancashire County Council closing the care home my Mum lived in. We lost our case in the High Court but decision-makers at local and national level were made aware of the devastating consequences of moving elderly people - no matter how carefully it is done. Mum was moved and, sadly, died eight months later. The blog is dedicated to her precious memory. Love you Mum.
This is Vera, my mum
