Lesley Cousland - Why Care Home Communities Deserve a Place in Research

Lesley Cousland, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

In this blog, Lesley makes a case for why care home communities must be fully included in research. Drawing on experience and examples from her work, she highlights the exclusion faced by residents and staff, not due to inability but because systems and assumptions make participation unnecessarily difficult. The blog outlines practical steps for inclusion and urges researchers, policymakers, and care providers to actively listen and involve those who live and work in care homes.
