Care Homes: Then, Now and the Uncertain Future

Care home services (across both nursing and residential care settings) have a fundamentally important strategic role to play in creating a person-centred, rights-based pathway of care and support fit for Scotland’s citizens in the 21st century.

Not only do these services deliver care and support to some of our most vulnerable citizens, but they also enable individuals to live full and fulfilling lives, and have a dignified, peaceful death. They are also a central support mechanism for families and play a crucial role in their local communities.
