These National Minimum Standards are issued by the Welsh Assembly Government under section 23 of the Care Standards Act 2000. They apply to all care homes providing accommodation and nursing or personal care for adults aged 18 to 65 years who have physical disabilities, sensory disabilities, learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, mental health problems, alcohol or substance misuse problems, HIV/AIDS, or dual and/or complex multiple disabilities. The standards cover: choice of home; individual needs and choices; lifestyle; personal and health care support; staffing; conduct and management of the home; concerns, complaints and protection; and environment. The standards are underpinned by a number of crosscutting themes: focus on service users, fitness for purpose, comprehensiveness, positive choice, meeting assessed needs, quality services, and quality workforce. There are supplementary standards for care homes accommodating young people aged 16 and 17 years.
