A  man suffering serious health problems, and currently living in a tent under a bridge in Maidstone , has reached out to the community for help.The 72-year-old has found himself with nowhere to stay while suffering with a chronic condition which leaves him struggling for breath after any exertion.Also in today's podcast, three recent inspections by the health watchdog have revealed the extent of the crisis facing adult social care in Kent, as the local authority warns of even core services “stretched to the brink”.During visits to services in Bearsted, Gravesend and Dover, the Care Quality Commission found inadequacies that plunged them into special measures. In a shock announcement, the county's tourism champions – Visit Kent - has ceased trading and is to be liquidated.They were behind the hugely popular long-running Kent Big Weekend event which saw thousands of tickets to leading tourism attractions given away free to local residents.You can hear from teenage defender Logan Dobbs who's described the last few days as “unreal” after scoring his first professional goal for Gillingham last night. His opener against Fulham under-21s in the Vertu Trophy – in a 4 – 1 win for the Gills –  came just days after a netting dramatic FA Cup equaliser for Welling United.And a campaign is underway in Kent to raise the profile of disability football.Despite having 18 clubs across the county and south east London with 75 teams - there's no pathway so players can progress – we've spoken to an ambassador from the Kent Disability Football League.

Today on the podcast we are joined by Floyd Steadman OBE.Floyd Steadman's journey began in North-West London as a 10-year-old runaway, surviving alone after escaping an abusive home.

A memorial ceremony commemorating the victims of the 2016 mass stabbing at Tsukui Yamayuri-en, a care facility for people with disabilities, was held on Saturday July 26, marking nine years since the tragedy. The ceremony was organized by the Kanagawa Prefectural Government, Sagamihara City, and the facility's managing welfare organization, took place from 10:30 a.m. to 11:40 a.m. at the facility in Midori Ward, where 19 residents were killed and 26 injured in one of Japan's worst mass killings. Kyodo reported that Kiyomitsu Nagai (age 55), the director of the facility, stood in front of the memorial altar alongside resident Masanao Shimada (also 55), and solemnly said, “You are, and will always be, irreplaceable.” At the flower offering table, people were seen placing flowers and praying, expressing their resolve: “We will not forget the incident.” Some political action groups also marked the day as a way to highlight injustices against people with disabilities and minority groups in general. In Kobe, the group ‘Remember 7.26 Kobe Action' on July 25 held a ‘silent action'.

There are more than sixteen thousand care homes across the UK, housing around half a million people. Staggering numbers. They are meant to be places of safety, support, and quiet, relaxed companionship for the people who live and work in them. But when COVID-19 arrived, they became one of the pandemic's deadliest frontlines. In a bid to see what might be possible, the Vivaldi Study - a nationwide effort to gather data from inside care homes - was launched. Can better data improve the lives of people in care homes?

Last week, an 86-year-old woman living in a long-term care home in Laval suffered a serious fall and later died from her injuries. What should the standard protocol be following an event like this? Matt Del Vecchio, owner of Lianas Senior Transition Support and Premier Home Care, and host of Life Unrehearsed, spoke to Ken Connors.

After growing up with glowing beings at his window, misty figures rushing from the basement, and pets staring at something unseen, one man thought he'd left the strange behind—until he began working night shifts at a care home. Two residents on different floors described the same dark figure standing silently in their rooms. Hidden beneath a photo, an upside-down crucifix was found etched into the wall. Was this just delusion, or a decades-long haunting tied to forgotten land, old souls, and a house that never wanted to let go? This is his lifetime of unexplained encounters.

Dr Emma Law, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. In this blog, Emma makes a case for why care home communities must be fully included in research. Drawing on experience and examples from her work, she highlights the exclusion faced by residents and staff, not due to inability but because systems and assumptions make participation unnecessarily difficult. The blog outlines practical steps for inclusion and urges researchers, policymakers, and care providers to actively listen and involve those who live and work in care homes.   Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-why-care-home-communities-deserve-a-place-in-research/ #DementiaResearch #ClinicalTrials #Research #CareHome #ENRICHScotland -- Dr Emma Law is Strategic Manager for the The Neuroprogressive and Dementia Network in Scotland.

Fed up with their own inadequate and expensive care systems, many elderly Westerners are choosing to retire to Thailand, where care is cheaper and often better. Many say Thailand's Buddhist culture and respect for the elderly means Thais are naturally caring. It's a booming sector, and is only likely to grow as we all live longer. But the decision to move can be complex, particularly when it involves retirees with dementia. People have been accused of dumping their sick relatives in Thai care homes, far from family. Is this exploitation – rich Westerners taking advantage of Thailand's low wages? And what does it mean for local health systems, as care workers are lured away to look after foreign residents?If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresented and produced by Gideon Long(Picture: British retiree Liz Jackson, now living in Chiang Mai.)

J-Sei Home Closes After 30 Years, Leaving Bay Area Japanese Seniors in Need The 1960s and 70s were a pivotal time for community activism – with the civil rights and anti-war movements, the Black Panther Party, and student protests that established ethnic studies programs on college campuses. That activism led to a decades-old critical lifeline for Japanese American elders: culturally sensitive senior care homes. But in recent years, these kinds of homes have been closing down. As KQED's Cecilia Lei reports, the closures highlight how the Japanese American community is at a crossroads.    LA's El Compa Negro Plays Regional Mexican Music, Straight Outta Compton Compton is known for being the heart of West Coast rap – from Dr. Dre to Kendrick Lamar.  But Compton has changed a lot.

This shift can be seen and heard in an artist from Compton named Rhyan Lavelle Lowery, aka “El Compa Negro.” He's a Black musician who sings regional Mexican music.

The COVID-19 pandemic awakened the nation – and the world – to the fact that small-house eldercare homes were substantially safer places to deliver long-term care compared with traditional nursing homes. And while it's now been almost five years since the onset of the pandemic, Canadian health policy makers such as Samir Sinha, MD, continue to raise awareness of the need for the proliferation of models such as Green House homes. As it happens, his appearance on this week's episode coincides with his new report, titled “There's No Place Like Home: Why Canada Must Prioritize Small Care Home Models in its Provision of Long-Term Care,” published by his Toronto Metropolitan University's National Institute on Ageing, where he is director of health policy research. Susan Ryan sits down with Dr. Sinha to discuss his work, the new report, and why he wants Canada to prioritize small care home models in the future delivery of long-term care services. Dr. Sinha, who is also a geriatrician and clinician scientist at Sinai Health System and the University Health Network in Toronto, a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto, and a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, has lots to say about eldercare, his desire to help and to work with vulnerable populations.  Listen to the episode to find out why he believes importance of adequate staffing and the role of universal direct care and its relationship to better resident-centered care.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comThis week on December 18th, 2024, the world lost an amazing human and friends, and one of my favorite humans of all time, survivor and warrior, Kevin Sutherland. In lieu of Kevin's devastating passing, I am devoted to finish the mission he started by continuing to share his story, continuing to call out every last person who failed him, and continuing to shed a light on the darkness that Kevin and many other survivors face, fight, and overcome their entire lives.Kevin was such a special person - I can't convey this enough. He was a bright light, a brilliant mind and story-teller, a humble soul, and someone who was too good for this world. The abuse and torment he suffered his entire life is nothing short of horrendous, inexcusable, and just as devastating as his loss. He had a tremendous impact on me personally - he was so loving and appreciative to me for offering a space for him to share his story. I felt and feel extremely honored that Kevin shared his testimony publicly before his departure so that we can continue his mission in his memory. It's all he wanted in his passing was for us to take the torch he was too exhausted to carry anymore and cross the finish line on his behalf.So, with that being said, here is Part 1 of Kevin's 3-part testimony. Here are the show notes I originally wrote below.Rest in paradise, angel. I pray you are now basking in the peace you always deserved that was stolen from you.I love you forever and ever, my sweet Kevin - I still can't believe you are gone...I will never, ever, stop fighting for you. -----------------------Joining us this week is Kevin Sutherland, survivor of systemic child care home abuse, who has kept silent about telling the truth regarding his harrowing story for his entire life... until now. Breaking his silence in this 2-part series, Kevin walks us through the chronology of his complex and heart-breaking story that started when he was just an infant and continues on to this day where he is now on a mission to expose all the corruption that took place when he was in foster care and get justice once and for all.Kevin's story is important. It's important because there are MILLIONS of children just like him who are still going through this abuse as we speak. There are millions of survivors who are silenced into never having their story heard as we speak. In Part 1, we dive into the first part of Kevin's life centered around the horrific abuses he survived and discuss in depth problems with the foster / child care system that are grossly neglected by the public. In Part 2, we go into a situation that happened as a result of Kevin's abuses that had him convicted of a crime and sent to prison, but never addressed the root cause of the crime itself: Child Abuse. His abusers are still free and the system that failed him is still sheltering children without ever taking a penalty, yet Kevin lost years of his life paying a price for doing something that could have been prevented had an adult stepped in to care for him. The media grossly misrepresented Kevin by eliminating his side of the story, so he is here today to tell you The Truth straight from his own mouth.This story needs shared far and wide - Kevin is a brave hero and someone we need to open our ears and eyes to who stands before you today to speak on behalf of millions of children just like him who were horrifically abused and made to pay a price for the side effects of the abuse without ever having the abuse itself addressed.
