Abstract
The immediate context of this paper is the so-called ‘crisis in social care’ that finds its most prolific and unsettling expression in news reports about the verbal, emotional and physical abuse of elderly people with dementia in care homes. In April 2014, BBC One’s Panorama reported on the abuse of residents at the Old Deanery care home in Essex and Oban House in Croydon. In June 2014, one care worker was jailed and two others were given suspended sentences and community service for the ill treatment of women with dementia at the Granary Care Home near Bristol.
