For a vulnerable person, living in a cold home increases their chance of serious illness or death. This quick guide looks at what home care managers can do to help care staff to recognise people at risk and ensure that they know how to document and share concerns appropriately. The guide covers: recognising a hard-to-heat home, identifying those most at risk, Making every contact count, and being part of a successful discharge home. The content is based on NICE’s guideline on excess winter deaths and illness and the health risks associated with cold homes. (Edited publisher abstract)
