Julie Kinley,Jo Hockley,Louisa Stone,Michael E. Dewey,Penny Hansford,Robert Stewart,Paul McCrone,Aysha Begum,Nigel Sykes +8 more

Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of using high facilitation when implementing the Gold Standards Framework in Care Homes programme: a cluster randomised controlled trial.
Julie Kinley,Louisa Stone,Michael E. Dewey,Jean Levy,Robert Stewart,Paul McCrone,Nigel Sykes,Penny Hansford,Aysha Begum,Jo Hockley +9 more
TL;DR: It was hypothesised that action learning alongside high facilitation when implementing the Gold Standards Framework for Care Homes programme will result in a reduced proportion of hospital deaths for residents and improvement in the care home staff ability to facilitate good end-of-life care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advance care planning in care homes: the experience of staff, residents, and family members.
TL;DR: Care home staff need to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to engage in discussions around end-of-life care, and the assistance of a trained facilitator who role-models this process should be explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing, implementing and sustaining an end-of-life care programme in residential care homes.
TL;DR: An increase of home deaths in 2011/12 to 2014/15 shows an increase in advance care plan discussions and completion of 'do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation' forms, and these should be considered when implementing other such initiatives in residential care homes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eating/Feeding Issues in Dementia: Improving the Dining Experience
TL;DR: It has been suggested that a dining environment that is welcoming, relaxing and comfortable has the potential to increase food intake and social interaction, which can make the eating/feeding experience more enjoyable and thereby minimise eating/ feeding difficulties in people with dementia living in care homes.
