| Annotation | The national minimum standards ('Care homes for older people: national minimum standards [under the Care Standards Act 2000]', first published, 2001) have been criticised as being too process-based. They will be replaced as regulations under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 come into force, which will make assessments more outcome-focused. The new document (279 pages) from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) covers 28 separate outcomes in six key areas: user involvement and information; personalised care; safeguarding; staff suitability; quality and management; and management suitability. Vern Pitt gives background information, and three experts attempt to decode what the document means for residential, domiciliary and nursing care providers. (RH). |
