Supporting older people in care homes at night (29th April 2008)

Although night-time care forms a significant part of care home provision, little research has focused on this. Night staff are a vulnerable group, receiving less training, supervision and support than day staff, but with high levels of responsibility. This report examines the perspectives of residents, relatives, staff and care home inspectors. It identifies areas of good and poor practice, and recommends ways to make improvements through a series of interventions.
