Annotation"Home work", a set of nine booklets for care staff, covers a wide range of facets of life in a residential care setting for older people. The aim is to provide information and ideas, and to raise questions that will help staff in seeking better ways to work in home. This ninth booklet looks at how staff can promote residents' health and well-being; minimise suffering from chronic conditions such as arthritis; and prevent deterioration. It discusses how to deal with illness in the home, and how to cope with dying and death. (RH).
