In this second episode, Michael interviews Twinglobe’s Julie Burton, a respected care leader with nearly 40 years of experience in the sector.
Together, they explore:
What’s changed in social care from the 1980s to today (and why complexity has exploded).
Why care homes are often misunderstood (and why families arrive in fear).
The emotional reality of care home admissions: grief, anger, fear and isolation.
Why “choice” in care is often an illusion, especially after hospital discharge.
The blurred line between residential and nursing care.
How great care homes build true community for residents, families and staff.
Julie also shares practical advice for families navigating care for the first time, including how to slow down, ask better questions, and protect your loved one’s rights during discharge planning.
