Fixing #socialcare I hope today's announcement brings: long-term and sustainable funding for social care; a simpler and fairer social care system, higher pay for the social care workforce, an end to people having to sell their homes to pay for care.

Words matter... what we say to ourselves,
what we say to others, what we say about others,
how we refer to others. Words matter, be word mindful.

[Dementia Friends @DementiaFriends]

Dementia can affect motor skills and vision, meaning that some people living with dementia may struggle with tasks like using a knife and fork or making a cup of tea.

Understanding how dementia may affect someone in this way allows us to look for ways to provide better support.

Here is a link to my blog, Mind your Language Social Care. https://t.co/JNqf35r9n3

[Donna Briggs @carelead]

The use of words such as ‘toileting’, ‘feeding’, ‘service user’ & ‘challenging behaviour’ depersonalise & disrespect people across health & social care services & can contribute to institutional practice.
Does this remain a challenge? Interested to hear your views.

How we refer to the people we care for & support has a direct impact on how they feel. How positive & empowering is the language across your care service? #personcentred #positiveculture #carehomes

When was the last time you contacted your care home manager or service manager, for no other reason but to simply ask.....How are you? #wellbeing #leadership
