Exploring the experiences of the Windrush Generation, living in UK care homes: protocol for a qualitative study using the Silences Framework.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Windrush Generation describes a group of individuals who migrated, primarily from the Caribbean to the UK between 1948 and 1971, many of whom are now entering older age. Now entering later life, many face ongoing health inequalities shaped by systemic racism and cultural marginalisation. Despite a growing number of ethnic minority residents in UK care homes, little is known about the lived experiences of Black African Caribbean people in these settings, particularly at the end of life.

Methods and analysis

This qualitative study explores the experiences of Black African Caribbean care home residents and their families, focusing on how race, identity and marginalisation shape care. Guided by the Silences Framework, semistructured interviews will be conducted
