The care home sector is large, with over 400 000 residents in the
UK and a similar number employed within the homes. It is therefore
an area of considerable economic importance. Care home residents
are often very old, and many have multiple physical and mental
health needs, meaning that their care poses particular challenges.
They are also a distinctly and profoundly marginalised group who
are often invisible in the wider debates on quality of care
including those about care homes.
Mental Health and Care Homes is a coherent and evidence-based text
exploring these issues. Bringing together both clinical and
research perspectives it will help those working in the care home
sector to deliver high quality care and support to both residents
and staff. This important, yet neglected, area is thoroughly
reviewed by a range of experts including residents, family carers,
staff, researchers, and clinicians.
The book has four sections: 'the inside view' which includes
several first-hand accounts of care home life; 'the outside view'
which discusses the regulatory, funding, and legislative context in
which care homes operate; 'mental health and care', a detailed
review of the major mental and other health issues that arise in
care homes, as well as interventions and services to offer support;
and a section exploring the 'promotion of health and wellbeing'
including examples of good practice. It concludes by synthesising
key themes and setting an agenda for further enquiry.
The book is written in a style that encourages engagement, with the
inclusion of contemporary case studies and examples, making it
topical and readable. It will be valuable for a broad professional
and vocational audience across both health and social care, as well
as students and researchers.
