Annotation	From August 2008 to March 2009, inspectors from the Care Commission and the Mental Welfare Commission for Scotland reviewed dementia care in large, medium and small 30 care homes for older people across Scotland. Also visited were care homes known to have a number of people were under welfare guardianship orders. The report considers ten key messages: care that respects the individual; activities and being part of the community; environment in which people live; managing money; health assessment; managing medication; managing challenging behaviour and the use of medication; legal matters and safeguards; consent to treatment; and staff knowledge and training. These themes are used to report on what was found out about dementia in care homes in Scotland, what action is required of care homes, and examples of good practice. (RH).
