Actress Ruthie Henshall, deeply affected by her mother's care home experience, vows to fight for better standards and advocates for 'Gloria's Law' which would guarantee family care supporters in all health settings.
RUTHIE Henshall has revealed she'd 'rather be shot than go into care' after her mum's 'horrific' death., 57, deeply affected by the tragic loss of her mother, Gloria, in 2021, has become an outspoken advocate for improving care standards.: “I have already asked my sister, ‘Please take me out.' If I have dementia, and I have any capacity, there is no way I am going into a care home because there is no way I am giving that burden to my children.
“There are still people who are not allowed in care homes, and the problem very much hasn’t gone away. That is why we need Gloria’s Law.”Sharing a heartwarming photo of her mother, she wrote: "Gloria 07/05/1933-11/05/2021 "Even recently my sister Susan was doing window visits because she wasn’t able to get an indoor visit for 3 weeks.
Ruthie had been allowed to see her mother daily because she had fought to be assigned as an "essential caregiver". "I read to her, sang to her, cuddled her, fed her, massaged her hands and feet, and told her I loved her at least 20 times a visit."She couldn’t walk, talk or eat solid food. Just one essential caregiver by law to every resident would give unlimited joy, love and peace of mind and take a huge strain off the brilliant carers who get paid mostly minimum wage.
