With this project, families really do feel part of the ‘caring team’. Even though I am sure that most homes may well work hard to inform and welcome families, I do feel that because of workloads and financial restraints, important contacts do regularly fall by the wayside.

So often in the news, we only hear about poor practice in care homes and it is easy to complain, and not see or understand exactly where the real issues are.

This project offers a positive approach, and demonstrates that by involving families with care homes and their carers, can produce some positive results for everyone involved with care.
