Supporting people to live healthier lives
Ensuring the people we support can live healthier, more independent lives is at the heart of great care. It’s about more than meeting immediate needs—it’s about empowering individuals to take control of their health and wellbeing, making choices that enhance their quality of life now and in the future.
In this issue, we explore how care home teams can support better health outcomes. From promoting physical activity to having positive conversations about making healthier choices, small changes can make a big difference. When staff really understand residents’ individual needs and preferences, they can provide truly person-centred care that not only supports day-to-day wellbeing but also helps reduce their future needs for care and support.
