"I have never had any concerns about working in a care home. We haven't had a shortage of PPE at any point, everything is on hand so there is nothing to be frightened of. It felt like one of the safest places to be and it was nice to go out to work and spend time with colleagues." Cathy Lister, Support Worker at Inglewood Residential Home
