| Annotation | The My Home Life programme aims to improve the quality of life for everyone involved in care homes - residents, staff and those who visit - conceptualised as relationship-centred care. The authors explain the project's vision for care home practice around eight themes: managing transitions into and adjusting to living in a care home; maintaining identity; creating community; sharing decision-making; improving health and healthcare; supporting good end-of-life care; keeping workforce fit for purpose; and promoting a positive culture. Attention is drawn to the My Home Life report and literature review, both of which are available on the project's website (www.myhomelife.org.uk). (RH). |
