Why we need more men in care. I believe this issue is very important for older people and is not just about men who want men to care for them – care homes can be ‘over- feminised’ environments and the presence of men has a positive effect on several levels - My 97 year old mother living with dementia in a care home frequently said to me – ‘Give me a nice man to look at any time!’.
