Exploring the case of an unsettled new care home resident, this video shows how finding out more about a person’s life story provides clues to new approaches to care. There is an interview with the care home manager who describes what happened in this particular case and how, by providing relevant activities for the resident, it was possible to take him off antipsychotic drug treatment. The National Director of the National Association of Providers of Activities for Older People (NAPA) also encourages care home managers to support their staff in examining routine care practices. Staff can be empowered to look at what is going on and to make creative changes to the care they provide. Other interviews include the Director of Dementia Care for BUPA and the new Clinical Director for Older People.
