| Annotation | P&G Professional has collaborated with the English Community Care Association (ECCA) to complete a new study, "Care homes : through the eyes of the consumer", of which this is a summary. The study was designed to provide insightful new information of value to care home operators and those working within the sector. As such, it complements the ECCA and P&G report, "Improving lives, improving life" (2004). It provides overviews of findings from the points of view of residents, relatives and staff on four key areas: choosing a care home; daily life in a care home; family and friends; and staff. Key areas for attention that emerged from the report include: better communication between all parties; improved transparency of information; greater awareness of the needs of residents and their relatives; sustained recruitment of good, experienced staff; improved home care management; and learning for best practice.
