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 older people. These services offer 24-hour care, 7 days a week, to older people. They provide accommodation together with nursing care, personal care and support. Older people 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.
