This resource is for managers of care homes for older people, including residential and nursing accommodation, day care and respite care. It is designed to help put into practice NICE's quality standard defining best practice in mental wellbeing of older people in care homes. It highlights key messages for care providers for each of the six quality statements that make up the standard. The messages relate to high-priority areas where improvements are needed. For each quality statement there is an explanation of why it is an area for quality improvement and provides advice and links to resources to help care homes make improvements. Case studies give examples of how outcomes were improved by focusing on a person's needs. The quality statements cover: meaningful activities for older people in care homes; maintaining and developing people’s personal identity; recognising symptoms and signs of mental health problems in older people; recognising and addressing the specific needs arising from sensory impairment; recognising and addressing the symptoms and signs of physical problems; and getting the right help at the right time.

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 mental health problems. These services provide accommodation together with nursing and personal care or support to people with mental health problems. People with mental health problems may choose to stay in a care home permanently, or for regular planned short breaks. Staff should be able to cater for individual’s changing needs so they should not have to move if they become ill. The standards are grouped under 4 headings: before moving in; settling in; day-to-day life; and moving on.

The National Service Framework (NSF) for mental health is intended to drive up quality and remove the wide and unacceptable variations in provisions. This NSF sets national standards and defines service models for promoting mental health and treating mental illness. It also puts in place underpinning programmes to support local delivery and establishes milestones and a specific group of high-level performance indicators against which progress within agreed time-scales will be measured. The NSF for mental health concentrates on the mental health needs of working age adults up to 65, and covers health promotion, assessment and diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and care, and encompasses primary and specialist care and the roles of the partner agencies. The NSF also touches on the need of children and young people, highlighting areas where services for children and adults interact, for example the interface between services for 16 – 18 year olds, and the needs of children with a mentally ill parent.
