At Target we're passionate about elderly care. We strive to help improve the standard of care homes' built environment.
This video focuses on how en suite wet rooms help to enhance both the living experience for residents, and working conditions for care staff.

Today marks the formal start of the Independent Commission on Adult Social Care. Read @blimeysimon's response to the announcement: kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and…
ALT Quote from Simon Bottery: ‘The Casey Commission offers a real opportunity to truly reform fundamental issues, such as the very tight means test, which is the critical factor when it comes to ensuring people in need can access care. The Commission is a blank enough sheet of paper for Louise Casey to thoroughly identify the challenges facing social care and to recommend the long-lasting, comprehensive solutions that are needed.'

If you’re waking to news of the commission on #socialcare your first instinct may be to head back under the covers. What, another one? Really? But there are genuine reasons to support it, along with a some concerns, particularly on the timing. Shortish thread.

This @TheIFS analysis suggests the local govt settlement is better for councils - and potentially therefore #socialcare - than it at first appears. A new ‘green’ grant lifts the increase in council total spending power to 5.5% in real terms. 1/3 ifs.org.uk/articles/2025-26-…

It's encouraging that even though the Darzi report had only a few lines on #socialcare what it did say was strong enough to generate media coverage. Here's a good leader from @thetimes on the sector and the 'grim lottery' of social care eligibility thetimes.com/article/e30c4aa…

The cancellation of #socialcare reform (the cap and extended means test due to be introduced in October 2025) announced today by @RachelReevesMP is incredibly disappointing. It also sounded quite final: "It will not be possible to take forward these charging reforms".

What’s the main pressure on #socialcare? The latest @1adass survey suggests it’s that the ‘boundary’ between social care and the NHS is shifting. People with more complex needs are now ending up in social care because of changes in NHS practice. Thread 🔽 adass.org.uk/documents/adass…
A Royal Commission may seem like a positive move, but many Sector Commentators are downbeat on the prospect..
Oh no. A royal commission would be just another way of avoiding action. The problems in #socialcare are clear and so are the solutions; what’s lacking is the political will. @UKLabour has a majority of 172 seats. It should use it to begin long-term reform.

what does @wesstreeting mean when he refers to the NHS as broken? Fixing the health care delivery system must include social care, a long term strategy for tackling the root causes of current challenges, and avoid changing the NHS funding model bmj.com/content/386/bmj.q152…

Great to be at another carehome opening ceremony today. Providing residents with a comfortable and dignified home, and carers a pleasant, practical workplace. With ensuite wet-rooms to every bedroom, accessible outdoor space on all levels, and welcoming living space.

In 10 years it's expected that there will be 13 million people aged 65 or over in England, but there's no commissioner in England working to improve the lives of older people and protect their rights.
