This bulletin, focusing on National Minimum Standards for meals and mealtimes in care homes for older people, finds that the majority (83%) are meeting minimum standards. However, a significant minority, one in six, are not. Care homes that meet the minimum standards typically have sufficient staff who are properly trained and managed to provide a positive experience for their residents at meal times. The bulletin provides clear advice on what care homes need to do to improve the quality of meals and mealtimes for their residents.
