TOTAL NEGLECT. We need real funding and a real plan.

Finally someone is pushing for this. Care homes are so expensive and the support at home is basically non existent. Needs sorting out now.

Too many people are going through this alone. Watching my dad go downhill was the hardest thing ive ever done. Dont look away from this.

My nan suffered with this for years. Its about time politicians actually talked about how hard it is for families to get any help at all.

Why is this not a priority already? Makes me sick how little they care about the elderly.

This is a massive issue that everyone ignores. Start talking about it!
