Care Home Wellbeing project: Overarching report

A series of webinar events were organised between September 2020 and March 2021 on behalf of informal carers (families and friends) of care home residents. Their purpose was to:

Share unpaid carers’ views and experiences of visiting (or not visiting) their relative or friend in a care home during the pandemic.
Enable unpaid carers to ask questions and gain answers from health and social care representatives about current and future access to care home residents.
Have access to timely, accurate information around official and local visiting guidelines.
Raise any concerns about wider care home service improvement; and

Influence decisions made by health and care leaders during the pandemic
