Home from Home: Journeys into Care for Older Adults
Keziah Wenham-Kenyon has been having conversations with people that make up a fragment of the sprawling social fabric of the care system for older adults. This three part series will take a closer look into care, from perspectives that are underrepresented and intersections that require more compassion-led, people-focused support than traditional forms of care are currently providing.
Season 1 is also available now, produced and composed by Jennifer Bell of stories gathered from people across the country of their experiences of the care system for older adults in the UK.

Season 2 Episode 1
“Some of the things that I have come across is people saying “well if you don’t like it then go back to your own country”, but some of these people were born here, yes their skin is black but they were born in England”
Care providers share the experiences of Caribbean elders that face discrimination when entering the care system, alongside a first-hand account of neglectful treatment - advocating the need for forms of care that respect cultural difference and individual needs.
