Description
Behind Those Care Home Doors: A Guide to Avoiding Poor Care This book offers a candid look at the care home experience, written by someone who has worked in the industry for sixteen years. It provides practical advice on how to choose a suitable care home and what to expect from the standards of care provided. The author shares her front-line experiences of abusive behaviours and poor standards of care, often from senior staff, highlighting issues such as inadequate staffing levels and substandard food. She also questions why carers who have the most contact with patients are frequently ignored when they raise concerns. This book is a valuable resource for anyone considering working in a care home or caring for a relative or friend. By reading this book, you will gain insight into what to look for when choosing a care home and how to check standards of care. You will also learn what to do if things go wrong.
