An online resource pack which brings together a collection resources to help promote the importance of arts and creative activities for older residents in care homes. The resource aims to support care staff to plan and run creative arts sessions and help then work with professional artists. It includes a film where three care homes and their residents share their experience of participating in the arts and the difference it has made to living life well. It also includes ‘recipe cards’ for five different arts forms created by artists for care staff. These cards provide ideas and methods to help care staff to run a variety of creative arts sessions within care homes. They cover creative dance, writing poetry, facilitating a singing session, print making and salt dough. The pack also contains guidance on working with professional artists. The pack was developed in partnership with Luminate and a national working group which included representatives from Creative Scotland, the voluntary and independent sectors, Scottish Care, the Scottish Poetry Library, NHS and professional artists.

Produced as part of a pathway mapping activity with practitioners, this document looks at the care older people experience when discharged from hospital in Scotland and the challenges practitioners face. Four of the most common care pathways are identified and illustrated: returning straight home (with or without family support); early supported discharge or intermediate care at home; step down or intermediate care; and admission straight to a care home. The document also presents key findings from a literature review on delayed discharge and the pathway between hospital and home to highlight some of the key problems and solutions. The resource has been developed as part of a 20-month project to redesign the pathway from hospital to home for older people across Scotland.
