and Care has published a Care Home Handbook, available free for

Supported by the Department of Health, this 56-page handbook
provides vital information for anyone who may be considering care
in a care home.
This edition provides vital information for anyone who may be
considering care in a care home, and for people who are exploring
options on behalf of someone they advise or care for.
The Care Home Handbook sets out clearly the rights that a person
has, the choices they can make depending on their situation, and
the control and independence they should be able to retain
throughout. It guides the reader through the different options
available for funding care and gives advice on how to choose a care
home that suits a person's individual needs.
