| Annotation | This themed review of inspections focuses on the quality of care people living with dementia received to help maintain their physical and mental health and well-being in care homes and hospitals. It looks at how the care provided can prevent unnecessary admission to hospital, how providers of care work together, and how the quality of dementia care provided is monitored. It presents findings on: assessment of care needs; planning and delivery of care; providers working together to deliver care; staffing; involvement of family, friends and carers in choices and decisions about care; and monitoring the quality of care. Across more than 90% of care homes and hospitals visited, aspects of variable or poor care wwere found. (RH) |
