Eddie Nestor's radio program on Radio London on Friday 16th July featured standards of care and covered the story of Sandra Blight whose parents were told by Bexley council that they could not both go into the same care home after 66 years of marriage. Full story is here http://www.thisislocallondon.co.uk/whereilive/localheadlines/8275109.BEXLEYHEATH__Council_parts_couple_married_for_66_years/.
Eddie Nestor read out an email from us about CareHomeMap and also interviewed Caroline Bernard from Counsel and Care - a charity which supports elderly people and their families in making decisions about care. Their web-site has various factsheets which are a mine of information
