Here at the Exchange in Birmingham today with Jon Glasby introducing “Achieving Closure” around what happens when care homes close. Looking forward to seeing Andy Russell training video

A very moving film about the distress that older people and their families when care homes close. Led by Meena Khan and made and narrated by Andy Russell . This research provides a road map in how to do this in the best way possible

1 in 5 care homes do close, so it is inevitable that it will happen. This research looks at how directors of social services, individuals and families have experienced care homes closure. Meena Khan Jon Glasby

When people move into a care home, they hope it will be their home for the rest of their life. But around 1,500 care homes closed between 2015 and 2025. I was lucky enough to contribute to research led by Jon Glasby which looked at what happens when care homes close.

Delighted to launch a series of policy and practice guides, training video and information for older people, families and care staff - to help support people when care homes close (birmingham.ac.uk/schools/social…)

Thanks to National Institute for Health and Care Research for funding, and to our Advisory Board (Age UK, ADASS, Care England 💚, Sandra Prew-ENRICH(ENabling Research In CareHomes), Care Quality Commission, SCIE, Agewell etc) for helping to shape and share these materials

More important evidence of where #SocialWork can have a positive impact - in a difficult and distressing time, through social workers' focus on relationship, reassurance and rights. Important learning about the need for detailed attention to things that personally matter.

New guides and training video launched to improve support for older people, families and care staff when care homes close. Learn more about the project funded by National Institute for Health and Care Research and led by Prof. Jon Glasby ⬇️ caretalk-business.co.uk/2025/03/19/nat…
