Coping with a cost of living crisis in the English care home workforce: a qualitative study
This study identified socioeconomic inequalities in the care home workforce which influence their experiences of financial strain and occupational demands. Inconsistent and inequitable support was found across care homes, highlighting the need for sector reform to address these differences and recognise the value of this workforce.
