| Annotation | Most care homes in Scotland are doing well with implementing the Standards of Care for Dementia. The author reports on work which she led on 145 dementia-focused inspections in 2016 and 2017 for the Care Inspectorate report, 'My life, my care home' (2017) about people's experiences of living with dementia in Scottish care homes. While this report found that in almost all care homes "some or all staff had learning and development opportunities to strengthen their dementia care practice", this was not always put into practice "in a way that made a difference to the lives of the people in the care home". The report also found that only in a small number of homes were residents supported in keeping connected with their community. (RH) |
