The video features testimony from older people with mental health problems speaking powerfully about the isolation, discrimination and difficulties they’ve faced. Significantly, they move on to share positive experiences of the help and support they receive, alongside their own involvement in making decisions about their care, that enables them to live well. Valuing Experience also features interviews with older people’s advocates and highlights exceptional examples of work in the voluntary sector that demonstrate good practice in person-centred care and promoting well-being and an active lifestyle. Research shows that older people are frequently let down when they really need help and support. 1 in 20 people over 65 have some form of dementia 1 in 10 older people may experience depression – rising to about 40% for those living in care homes. Many older people experience mental distress brought on by isolation, loneliness or loss, but these problems often go unrecognised.

Guideline providing practice advice on admissions and discharges between mental health acute hospital settings and community or care home settings for children, young people and adults of all ages. It considers how person-centred care and support should be planned and delivered during admission to, and discharge from, mental health hospitals. It also addresses how services should work together and with the person, their family and carers, to ensure transitions are timely, appropriate and safe. It aims to help people who use mental health services, and their families and carers, to have a better experience of transition by improving the way it is planned and carried out. Recommendations cover: overarching principles for good transition, planning for hospital admission and discharge, out-of-area admissions, and support for families and carers throughout admission. It highlights the importance of building relationships with people as early as possible, involving people in decisions when they are going into and out of hospital, and for people admitted to a hospital out-of-area to have a named practitioner assigned from the person’s home area who will work closely with their hospital team. The guideline will be relevant for providers of care and support in inpatient and community mental health and social care services; front-line practitioners and managers, commissioners of mental health services, and people who use inpatient and community mental health services, their families and carers.

This web-based practice guide is aimed at local authority and health commissioners, practitioners, service users, adult placement scheme staff and carers in England.

It identifies relevant national minimum standards, and highlights findings and case examples from the practice survey, as well as from the literature where available. The Guide contains practice points, including areas of conflict, on-going debate about roles and responsibilities, and the application of person-centred approaches to adult placements.
