Cold Porridge, Broken Promises and a Missing Dog: Notes from nursing home advocacy
Nursing home residents often have no voice. They fall prey to coercive control and medical paternalism and are frequently deprived of their liberties. During the Covid-19 pandemic they were all but abandoned by the Irish health service, with devastating consequences. Cold Porridge explores how nursing home residents can be empowered to raise their voices and take back control of their lives using advocacy rooted in social justice and pastoral care.
