Social care: a better way?

Jonathan Griffith offers a creative solution to a pressing social need

I have quite severe cerebral palsy but I am determined and creative. Around the Christmas before last I was overdoing the struggle to get out of the bath and gradually lost the use of my right arm – which is essential to my independence – having trapped the nerves in my neck. Lacking enough support at home (I live alone) I had to go into a nursing home. At the end of that April the NHS decided to fund my care and I returned home in May.
