Our sponsors
My Home Life is a national movement aimed at improving the quality of life of those who are living, dying, visiting and working in care homes for older people.
The current phase of My Home Life has been generously funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, and we are looking forward to the next few years as the movement develops.
