Providing proactive care for people living in care homes – Enhanced health in care homes framework

Provider: NHS England

The Enhanced health in care homes (EHCH) framework (2023) is for primary care networks (PCNs) and providers and commissioners of community health and social care services. It guides the commissioning of and delivery arrangements for health and social care services in collaboration with care homes, so that the entire system works together to provide personalised care, improve outcomes and promote independence for people living in care. It recognises the life course of people who live in a care home and promotes the ethos of living, ageing and dying well.
