My Health, My Care, My Home - healthcare framework for adults living in care homes: easy read

Easy read version of the framework which provides a series of recommendations that aim to transform the healthcare for people living in care homes.

A nurturing environment – a safe place to live where people feel happy and well

Good healthcare and feeling comfortable, healthy and happy is supported by:

a safe and homely environment with things to do every day, good healthy food and ways to connect with the other people who live there
families and friends
the local area
carers and staff

Families and social care staff know the people in the care home well and can recognise changes that could mean they are not well.

People living in a care home must be assessed and regularly checked by a healthcare person when this is needed.

we must recognise and value the important role of all care home staff
the care home team should have the main role in the healthcare of people living in care homes
