Annotation	How can new residents and relatives be supported in the difficult transition into care? The authors describe the combined efforts of staff, relatives and researchers to create a 'welcome' booklet for newcomers to 67 Birch Avenue, a dementia care home in Sheffield. The Support 67 Action Group has worked together since 2002 on initiatives such as the 'Relative support booklet', and is suggested as a model of partnership working. (RH).
