Description

Providing Good Care at Night for Older People offers practical guidance on delivering positive and appropriate care in nursing and care homes during the night. The authors address key issues such as nutrition, hydration, continence, challenging behaviour, medication, night time checking, pain management, and end of life care. The book also considers the impact of working at night on care staff and provides suggestions to safeguard their own health. A final chapter offers a set of night time care guidelines for inspectors that can be used by managers to evaluate night time practices in their homes. This book is essential reading for those involved in caring for older people, including night staff, managers, employers, and inspectors of services.
