Supporting Older People Experiencing Homelessness and Memory Problems in Hostels: Learning From an Ethnographic Study
Staff worked hard to connect with older residents with memory problems, in resource- and time-poor contexts, often left to provide care beyond their roles in contexts of unmet need. Our ethnographic account has informed co-design of a support intervention for hostel staff working with older people with memory problems, alongside recommendations for policy and practice.
