Charlotte & Tom's story

Video of Charlotte & Tom's story.

Otherwise, people will still be at risk of losing their independence.

In this story, Charlotte describes her experience of being put into a care home in her early twenties and how personalised care has transformed her life and the life of her husband, Tom.
