What is the role of care home collaborative/support teams in enhancing care for people living in care homes?
Background
We are interested in developing the data and research evidence around adult care homes and care home residents. The adult care home sector in Scotland provides care for adults and older people, individuals with learning and physical disabilities, neurological conditions, mental health conditions and brain injury. Some care homes also provide intermediate care and respite services for people on a temporary basis. Across each of these groups the health and care needs of those living in adult care homes is becoming more complex and requires more specialist interventions.
