Independent care home?
@Patrick_Andrews hello, I was reminded of this post as we are having a conversation on care homes which run on intergenerational care. You might want to have a look here (mentions of other Dutch and American well run facilities too).
What do you mean by independent care homes? From the very little I know about the UK care system, many times services are provided by both NHS and affiliated trust foundations whose status is formally semi-autonomous. Also, many times services are signposted to third sector/ independent organisations, which makes me wonder if you see your new organisation working in similar partnerships? Do you want to be independent in status or also in your practice - meaning little or no collaboration with the existing system as it is now? I’m curious about the positioning, and it can also be relevant for our research. Also ping @Tino_Sanandaji for possible interest in this.
