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 event discusses each of the six quality statements; what they mean and how they can be put into practice. The standards cover: participation in meaningful activity, personal identity, recognition of mental health conditions, sensory impairment and physical problems; and access to healthcare services. The film also contains interview footage from Andrea Sutcliffe, Chief Inspector for Social Care at the Care Quality Commission and Finbarr Martin, a Non-Executive Director at NICE.
