I finally managed to find a resident to interview for the podcast and what a resident! Pat Ison lives in Bristol in an independent living flat, among other types of accomodation including sheltered housing and a nursing home.
I got to meet her face to face and we sat in the dining area while I asked all sorts of questions including how she found her home, what she considered before moving and how easy it was to make friends.
I also couldn't wait to talk with her about her participation in the Channel 4 documentary "Old People's Home For Four Year Old's" which aired in 2017 along with a Christmas special.
I think you can tell I was very fond of Pat and it was great to understand from a resident's point of view what challenges she sees in a care environment and what advice she would give.
