| Annotation | More people live in sheltered housing than in care homes. ERoSH was formerly known as the Emerging Role of Sheltered Housing project, and believes that there is a huge unmet potential for sheltered housing that can benefit the whole community. That potential is in the buildings, the staff, and the residents. This DVD emphasises the benefits of partnership working. It demonstrates a range of health and social care-related activities that do or should take place in sheltered housing including: exercise; falls prevention; keeping active; helping access to other services; healthy eating; screening; and social activities. ERoSH produces checklists for health and social care professionals, and the good practice examples in the DVD pick out just a few themes. The DVD is in two parts, one aimed primarily at health care professionals, and the other primarily at social care professionals. The aim is that it should be shown at team meetings and training courses. It is also viewable on the ERoSH website. Attention is also drawn to further good practice examples on the Housing LIN website (http://icn.csip.org.uk/housing/). (RH). |
