Care homes
We work with care homes to support residents experiencing mental health problems. This can include dementia, delirium, depression, psychosis or anxiety. If you have a resident you would like to discuss, please contact the relevent team below.
To help us understand your concerns, we ask that you provide as much information as possible. The below documents will help you:
- Care Home Education Service (CHES) referral form
- CHES pain checklist
- CHES behaviour record chart
- Rockwood clinical frailty tool
- Delirium quick guide
To make a referral, please complete the Care Home Education Service (CHES) referral form. Whilst we process your request, please complete the CHES pain checklist and CHES behaviour record chart over a minimum period of three-days.
