The Older People’s Commissioner for Wales has published an information guide for older people and their families giving information about care homes.
This year’s CQC State of Care builds on the July 2018 report about the way that older people in 20 English local areas experienced care as they moved between the different services they need.
Focusing community services on those with frailty can improve quality of care and reduce hospital bed usage. This guide provides advice on the commissioning and management of services for people living with frailty and includes the downloadable report Fit for Frailty Part 2.
People may argue that services in the community must be developed to provide care appropriate to the needs of the population now and in the future, but how can this be done?
The BGS Autumn Meeting will cover the latest in evidence and best practice in the health and care of older people.
The BGS has submitted a response to the Welsh Government's 'Connected communities - Tackling loneliness and social isolation' strategy.
