Young MS sufferer was in home for elderly people
A woman has called for better care for young disabled people after her sister had to share a care home with people more than twice her age. Before 38-year-old Joanne Head died in 2015, she had to have 24-hour care due to advanced multiple sclerosis. Her sister Vicky Cook, from Nottingham, said most residents in the home were over 65 and some had dementia. Lincolnshire County Council, who provided the care, said it works with families to find the right placements. Mrs Cook said it was "horrible" to see her sister in an environment where no suitable therapies or social interaction and activities were offered.
