Research suggests that a culture strongly based on relationships leads to positive resident outcomes (Anderson et al., 2003).

Looking forward to it 💚

💚"We have formed an online community which consists of several care homes! ...each of the homes take turns to host the event. People from the different care homes sing songs, hymns, read to the group" #community #wecare myhomelifecharity.org.uk/202…

"Bonuses were also paid to staff in the middle of the pandemic and another bonus is coming soon. But really, there’s no way you can really repay people, in terms of money or stuff, for what they did during the very difficult days of the pandemic." #wecare myhomelifecharity.org.uk/202…

Since Covid restrictions have been lifted, we have noticed a difference in our relationships with relatives. Have you felt there is more understanding both ways between staff and families? #wecare #carehomes 💚 myhomelifecharity.org.uk/202…

The feeling of camaraderie has truly helped to nurture a positive culture in the home. How did you promote a positive culture? 💚 #wecare #homelife #carehomes myhomelifecharity.org.uk/202…

"It may be viewed as a hurdle which slows down things, albeit important. But shared decision-making is a critical aspect of care home life." #wecare #carehomes myhomelifecharity.org.uk/202…

There is evidence that training enhances competence, self-confidence, job satisfaction, morale and teamwork, but low status, low pay and low ratio of qualified to nonqualified staff... are key factors likely to influence care standards #wecare #research ow.ly/E7et50LGcu3

Research Briefing 4: Facilitating Transitions. The process of entering a care home should be considered as much an opportunity to realise new opportunities and challenges as it is a result of some form of loss of independence or health status. 💚 #wecare myhomelifecharity.org.uk/wp-…
