“Just yesterday, Israel demolished a Palestinian school in Jubbet Ad Dhib. Oh yes, I’m sure Palestinian students loved Israel before reading their school textbooks. https://t.co/s16rfHLwe0 2/3”

“Israel’s Transportation Minister Miri Regev standing next to a map of Greater Israel (excluding Gaza). No Green Line. No Palestine. But let’s focus on the fact that Palestinian textbooks don’t include Israel on the map. 1/3”

We’re getting ready 👑🤴🇬🇧

‘Before you accept a place, do the questioning, challenging and asking. Speak to other relatives who are there. Pop in at different times, such as the evenings, to see what’s going on. Ask yourself if this is somewhere you would want to live.’

Nabila Zulfiqar had never thought her mother would live in a care home and, when there was no choice because of her mum Bano’s dementia, finding one was a nightmare. Now she's providing advice and support for others.

When she was looking, some care homes said they could not cater for Bano’s needs as a Muslim, or that her dementia wasn’t bad enough. One home didn’t understand that Bano needed her prayer book.

'In future, there will be more people from different backgrounds who’ll need care. Care homes need to know the importance of meeting individual needs,' Nabila says.

Eventually they found a care home that could cater to Bano’s dietary needs as a Muslim – a great relief to the family. Sometimes Punjabi staff, who she could communicate with, worked there.

Bano began to feel at home until, after six months, the management changed and suddenly announced they were no longer dementia specialists. Bano was told she had to leave.

At her second home, sparkling new and furnished with chandeliers, the level of competency was poor, with little activity and no effort made to communicate with Bano.

Her third care home was run by a Jewish charity and was the most effective, responsive and caring. Here she felt part of the family.

‘In all these homes, Mum’s monthly cost was more than £5,000, but it’s shocking how variable the quality of care is,’ Nabila says.
