Social Care 1: ‘We’ll ride this roller-coaster together'

Meet Anna Perrott and her 94 year old Grandma Rita, who has dementia.

Rita can’t be looked after at home anymore, so she’s having respite care at a Norwich care home. But who’ll care for her long term?

In the first in his series on social care, the World at One's reporter Andrew Bomford follows one family as they take big decisions about potentially putting a loved one in to a care home.
