| Annotation | Community care assessment documentation was examined for low dependency residents to find out why nursing home care had been recommended. Admission to nursing homes may be encouraged by overemphasising care requirements, by placing emphasis on safety rather than independence, and by inadequate recording of information. Older people who cannot live at home need improved assessment procedures, better understanding of their needs, and a wider range of accommodation options. (RH). |
