The care home sector is large, with over 400 000 residents in the UK and a similar        number employed within the homes. It is therefore an area of considerable economic        importance. Care home residents are often very old, and many have multiple physical        and mental health needs, meaning that their care poses particular challenges. They        are also a distinctly and profoundly marginalised group who are often invisible in        the wider debates on quality of care including those about care homes.Mental Health        and Care Homes is a coherent and evidence-based text exploring these issues.          Bringing together both clinical and research perspectives it will help those working        in the care home sector to deliver high quality care and support to both residents        and staff. This important, yet neglected, area is thoroughly reviewed by a range of        experts including residents, family carers, staff, researchers, and clinicians.The        book has four sections: 'the inside view' which includes several first-hand accounts        of care home life; 'the outside view' which discusses the regulatory, funding, and        legislative context in which care homes operate; 'mental health and care', a        detailed review of the major mental and other health issues that arise in care        homes, as well as interventions and services to offer support; and a section        exploring the 'promotion of health and wellbeing' including examples of good        practice. Itconcludes by synthesising key themes and setting an agenda for further        enquiry.The book is written in a style that encourages engagement, with the        inclusion of contemporary case studies and examples, making it topical and readable.          It will be valuable for a broad professional and vocational audience across both        health and social care, as well as students and researchers.
