Episode notes
We describe the main routines and activities in a typical care home. From explaining staff shift patterns, to the importance of interactions and activities that give meaning and reduce loneliness. We explain what a care plan is, and its role in personalising care, as well as the benefits of digital technology (when used appropriately). Managing risks and keeping people safe, and the impact of visitors are also explored.
