Care Homes
Dementia Diagnosis, Intervention and Care
The National Dementia Strategy requires those working with dementia patients to: improve professional awareness of dementia; provide an informed and effective workforce; ensure good quality early diagnosis and intervention for people with dementia; and provide good quality information for people with diagnosed dementia and their carers. This handbook and CD-ROM help professionals to implement the National Dementia Strategy with practical, customisable template policies, checklists and guidance.
Prepare for inspection and get the highest possible star rating
From January 2008 care homes in England have been awarded a quality star rating, based on the answers given in their Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) and following a key inspection. AQAA Completion Tools for Care Homes helps you to prepare for inspection. Our practical CD-ROM and accompanying handbook help you fill in the AQAA so as to maximise your chances of achieving a 3-star rating. They also guide you through legislation such as the National Standards and the Mental Capacity Act, as well as providing templates and model record-keeping forms to ensure your documentation meets the required standards.
Tools and Support for Advance Care Planning and Palliative Care
In July 2008 the Government launched its End of Life Care strategy as a benchmark to help
improve the quality of care for people at the end of life. Our practical CD-ROM and
accompanying handbook help health and care providers to implement the strategy. They also
guide professionals through legislation such as the Mental Capacity Act, as well as
providing: time-saving best practice template policies; information sheets on key issues;
staff training presentations; customisable checklists; and feedback forms. The publication
ensures that documentation meets the required standards and frees up staff to focus on
supporting those at the end of their lives.
Handle staff issues successfully
Disciplinary, Grievance & Dismissal Notices on CD-ROM helps organisations to work through their staff issues and demonstrate legal compliance with disciplinary and grievance procedures, as well as a range of other HR issues. It provides policies and letters to cover every eventuality, freeing managers to get on with the rest of their job.
