AnnotationThis review explores the learning from delivery of care in residential services for children and young people, residential services and supported housing for people with learning disabilities and hospice care, and considers how this can be applied in care homes for older people. The report finds that, while evidence of effectiveness is limited, there are promising ideas that could improve the culture of care homes, experiences of care and support for staff. It presents evidence of how residential care homes in other sectors have created positive organisational cultures and increased relationship-based care to improve the quality of care offered, and looks at how greater involvement of people who use services and their families can improve experiences of care.
