The Care Home Forum Project
Jo James
Lead Nurse , Dementia
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust
The situation
• Large Teaching hospital in London
• Multiple issues with discharge to care homes (patients bouncing back, complaints)
• Poor relationship between hospital staff and care home staff – blame culture
• Limited co-operation and communication
The Care Home Forum
• Invitations to local care homes for a monthly meeting to discuss how we can work better together • Need for better understanding of each other
• Need to communicate more effectively
• Need to have a little professional respect
• Need to factor in the pressures in each organisation
Plan
• Hold an event to get to know the hospital
• Share training opportunities
• Monthly ‘ What are the issues?’ forum meetings
The Event
• Meet and greet lunch – care home attendees and the staff from high user wards, esp. ward managers, discharge teams & Drs.
• Presentations – How hospitals operate / what happens when a person is admitted / discharged. How confidentiality / data is dealt with.
• Ward manager led tour – small groups to high user wards (6 wards)
Shared Training
What can we offer them?
• Open invite to Thursday training / Study days
• Bespoke training
What could they offer us?
• Training to hospital staff
• Managing cultural needs in care
• Decision making
• What happens when a resident is admitted
Monthly meetings
• At first it was hard…..
• But it improved after a few weeks.
• A lot of it was valid.
Did it work?
• Staff on both sides understood the issues
• Information was shared – how pts were, when a pt died.
• No more discharges on Friday afternoon.
• Care staff welcomed by ward staff for assessments.
• More respect.
“How the integration of hospitals & care home services can better facilitate transfers of care”
Jenny Bloor Operations Manager, Housing 21
Disclaimer……
We are all busy
This is what we are up against every working day…..
• Processes
• Work Flows
• Internal Policies
• Internal Procedures
• Contract Specifications
• Contractual Obligations
• Regulatory Responsibilities
• KPI’s
• Targets
• Deadlines
• Time Frame/Time Bound
• Task Based
• Cost
• Complaints
Time
1. Anyone who works in the Health & Social Care Sector does not have time to do anything other than the 35 jobs that are all priority and are all being done at the same time
2. When someone is admitted into hospital there is always the hope they will also be discharged from hospital
3. But do we have time to DO THE RIGHT THING? The answer is YES we do
4. How do we feel as professionals when things haven’t gone right?
5. Lessons Learnt? But do we have time to remember the Lessons we Learnt?
Examples of Hospital Discharges
“FRED” – Discharged from hospital into our non nursing emergency bed, with a cannula still in
his arm and no trousers on, FRED was frantically trying to pull the cannula out of his arm and crying because he thought he’d been kidnapped and was being drugged.
“VERA” – Arrived at a home at 11.30 at night, in the rain, lying on a trolley, left on the car park
whilst the Paramedics were getting her personal items off the ambulance.
“MR. THOMPSON” – Arrived at a Residential Home, but he didn’t actually live there,
and MR THOMPSON had to wait for an hour and a half while the Paramedics found out where he lived. MR THOMPSON became upset and “aggressive”
&
“BRENDA, JOE, STAN, JACK, LUCY, DORA, GLADYS etc” – Discharged smoothly and efficiently from local hospitals with family/health
professionals/social worker/staff involvement and with a smiling, friendly face to escort them home.
Communication…..
It’s good to talk, isn’t that a British Telecom Advert from the 80’s? But how do we talk?
• Ward Staff to
• Residential Home Staff to
• Social Workers to
• Significant People
• How do we share a person’s critical information?
• Plan, Plan, Plan & Talk, Talk, Talk – Dementia Friends/Dementia Friendly/Dementia Words Matter
Person Centred
• What does a GOOD day look like?
• What does a BAD day look like?
• What can we do to help someone feel validated and in control?
• How are they feeling?
• Triggers/Comforters
• Passport between services
• Significant Persons involvement
• Escort
• Dementia Words
• The time of the Hospital Discharge
• Nutrition and Hydration
The Person First, Time & Communication Just 3 ideas, but ultimately it’s DOING THE RIGHT THING for the person not the patient number
Understanding the current climate
NATIONAL DEMENTIA ACTION ALLIANCE
What are the key challenges for those involved in the transfer of care and how are current initiatives easing these pressures?
Simon Griffiths, Interim Director of Local Delivery, Essex County Council
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ESSEX
ABOUT NORTH EAST ESSEX
• Population 329k
• This Alliance covers the districts of Colchester and Tendring.
• The resident population of North East Essex is predicted to rise to around 377,000 by 2035, with the greatest increases expected to be in those aged 85 years and over.
• The most deprived small area
(approximately 1,500 people) in England is in Tendring.
DEMENTIA IN ESSEX
Approx. 19,000 people are living with Dementia in Essex
32% of ECCs admissions to residential care are for people known to have dementia
70% will also have other medical conditions of disabilities
There is so much information. Where am I supposed to start? (carer)
• 40% of carers experience psychological distress or depression
• People don’t contact us until they’re in crisis And when they do contact us, there are often two people in crisis, the individual with dementia and their carer. (Paid carer)
DEMENTIA IN ESSEX - A FEW MORE CHALLENGES • Admission to hospital and pyjama paralysis – 10 days bed rest could lead to 10 years muscle mass loss in over 80 year olds.
• Systems are fragmented and bureaucratic
• Services do not consider people as part of a family – or even in partnership with their carer
• Support is not personalised – and doesn’t enable people to maintain their capabilities, interests or relationships
• Systems rely heavily on the carer, but don’t support them very well
• Carers are often unable to access services when they are available and have few options available over night and at weekends
• Current avenues of support don’t help people and families to withstand the emotional pressures they face – stress, relationship breakdown, loneliness
• Existing systems push people towards residential care because they can’t find the support they need in the community
EXPERIENCE OF THE SYSTEM
At least 25% of general hospital beds are occupied by people living with dementia. On average people with dementia stay more than twice as long in hospital then other patients aged over 65.
WHAT DOES GOOD LOOK LIKE?
• Prevention
• Finding information and
advice to support living well
with dementia in the
community
• Supporting carers
• Reducing the risk of crisis
• Living well in long term care
• End of life
• A knowledgeable and skilled
workforce
INNOVATION IN ESSEX
• Intervention and support at patient & carer crisis point • Respite solutions and supporting the family whilst in crisis • Educating families in dementia or medication
INNOVATION IN ESSEX
• In reaching into care homes, focusing on clients with Dementia. • Reviewing people with problematic symptoms of dementia &
other complex presentations. • More timely interventions appropriate to people’s needs,
helping enable people to remain in their usual place of residence .

Integrating hospital and care home services to better facilitate transfers of care…
A North Central London Perspective
National Dementia Action Alliance Wednesday 17 July 2019
Who are we – North Central London
38
The Challenges…
• Frail, vulnerable and dependent populations.
• Inadequate proactive preventative measures
• Failure to manage mental health and long term conditions including end of life care
• Confidence of care home staff
• Responsiveness of primary care
• Capacity of existing community services
• Variation in capability across care home providers
• Financial burden
39
Models of Care
• Aim: Measure the impact of older people’s integrated mental and physical health teams on emergency admissions and length of stay in hospitals, with a focus on people with dementia and / or functional mental health presentations.
• Objective: Undertake an evaluation measuring the impact of;
Barnet, Enfield and Haringey NHS Foundation Trust –
Care Home Assessment Team
An integrated community mental and physical health care team supported by Geriatricians and a Consultant Psychiatrist have been commissioned to provide training and guidance to care homes.
40
1. Reduce the need for acute emergency and reactive care, by improving the direct management of individual patients in care homes, improving the knowledge, skills and confidence of care home staff.
2. Improve end of life care, increasing the number of residents who die in their preferred place.
41
Enfield Care Home Assessment Team: Aims of the service…

Falls leading to hospital attendance or admission were reduced by 7%. On average, 99% of residents died in their preferred place (10% of
residents who died did not have their preferred place of death wished recorded).
1514 residents (39%) have had their medication reduced or stopped as
result of CHAT input. Calculating one year’s reduction in costs of prescribing equated to £7,506 of savings.
7,606 care home staff and managers attended training on 59 subjects. The CHAT team record the number of hospital attendances and GP visits
they believe they have helped to prevent, which equated to 8,409 hospital attendances and 8,109 GP call outs between 2013 and 2018.
CHAT OUTCOMES
49
Dr Fenn, Forest Road GP: “The CHAT team make a real difference to patient care. The approach is an integrated one working with patients, families and secondary care. There no longer seems to be a barrier between primary and secondary care. I can genuinely recommend them as the best example of integrated care that I have seen in my career”.
PRIMARY CARE - INTEGRATED CARE
50
Resident and mental health service user from
Murrayfields Nursing Home: “CHAT always
listen. They try to help me manage my own
anxiety and concerns but recently when it was
all too much they got a psychiatrist in to see
me and I was so thankful.
MENTAL HEALTH PATIENT - INTEGRATED CARE
Transfer of care - Initiatives
51
