The National Care Standards Committee was set up by the Scottish Government to develop national standards in collaboration with a number of working groups including service users and service providers. They are designed to be from the point of view of service users to help them to understand what they can expect from the service provider. They may also be of use to service providers to help them know what is expected of them. The standards in this publication cover care homes for people with learning disabilities. These services provide accommodation together with nursing and personal care or support to people with learning disabilities. People with learning disabilities have the same rights and responsibilities as other people. These standards aim to make sure that people with learning disabilities keep these rights and responsibilities when they are staying in a care home. The standards are grouped under 4 headings: before moving in; settling in; day-to-day life; and moving on.
