The British Association of Occupational Therapists and College of Occupational Therapists has launched a toolkit called Living Well in Care Homes designed for care home staff to help residents continue to enjoy activities that are important to them.
Developed by the College of Occupational Therapists, the free online toolkit, aimed at care homes across the UK, promotes dignity and respect, mental and physical wellbeing and integration into the community.
It includes free training materials and audit tools to review and evidence aspects of care such as personalisation and choice.
The Toolkit consists of five separate sections aimed at a range of audiences including care home residents, their family and friends; care home staff, owners and managers; commissioners and inspectors; and occupational therapists.
