This document contains a statement of national minimum standards published by the Secretary of State under section 23(1) of the Care Standards Act 2000. The statement is applicable to care homes (as defined by section 3 of that Act) which provide accommodation, together with nursing or personal care, for older people. Each standard is, for explanatory purposes only, preceded by a title and an indication of the intended outcome in relation to that standard. The standards are grouped under the following key topics, which highlight aspects of individuals' lives identified during the stakeholder consultation as most important to service users: choice of home; health and personal care; daily life and social activities; complaints and protection; environment; staffing, management and administration.
