English Care Homes and Sense of ‘Home’: The Winding Road

Abstract: The context for social care has become ever more challenging over the past 5 years. This seminar will consider the concept of home in the face of the pressures from financialization and pandemic infection control measures.

Speaker: Anne Killett, Senior Lecturer, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of East Anglia

Dr. Anne Killett, an Associate Professor in occupational therapy, has been researching social care and older people since 2008. Coming from a career as an occupational therapist she is passionate about the active involvement influencing research of those most affected by the research. Her latest funding acknowledges this, with an 18-month award from the UK NIHR to study the public involvement role in research of older people living in care homes.
