SAGE ADVOCACY TALKS TO KFM KILDARE ABOUT CHOICE MATTERS: A NEW DISCUSSION DOCUMENT THAT REFLECTS ON COVID-19 AND SETS OUT A ROADMAP FOR CHANGE December 16, 2020
Listen back:
Sarah Lennon, Executive Director of Sage Advocacy, talks to Ciara Plunkett on Kildare Focus about the publication of its new discussion document "Choice Matters" and why the Commission for Care must be established.
Ms Lennon said the discussion document highlights key long term care issues in Ireland and identifies good and poor practice in nursing homes during the first wave of Covid-19. It also draws attention to the impact of visitor restrictions from early March on nursing home residents, particularly those with reduced decision making capacity.
The document is based primarily on analysis of feedback and reflections from Sage Advocacy’s frontline personnel who have continued to provide support and advocacy services throughout the pandemic.
