| Annotation | The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) analyses recent research findings behind specific social work practices, in this instance nutrition in care homes and the prevalence of malnutrition in older people generally. The roles of dignity, screening, prioritising mealtimes, training, accountability and support in providing good nutritional care are highlighted, also the importance of food quality and provision, and knowledgeable staff. The studies 'Hungry to be heard' (Age Concern, 2006) and 'Measuring dignity in care for older people' (Help the Aged, 2008) serve to illustrate the problems encountered. (RH). |
