| Annotation | Personalisation for residential care homes means that person-centred and relationship-centred care and support should be at the heart of the service being offered. This At a glance briefing examines the implications of the personalisation agenda for managers of residential care homes, as expressed in the document 'Putting people first' (Department of Health, 2007). Personalisation means starting with the person, who should be at the centre of the process of identifying needs and making choices in about how when support is needed; consequently, care home staff and services should be be aware of these things. Case studies illustrate how particular care homes have implemented aspects of personalisation to good effect. (RH). |
