What happens in care homes at night?

Posted by Esther at 2.24pm on 16 July 2009

Night Time Care
Research funded by Joseph Rowntree Foundation shows that the experience of night time care, for both staff and residents, can be quite different from the experience of care during the day.  Dr Heather Wilkinson and Diana Kerr from Edinburgh University and Colm Cunningham from Stirling University, based their work on interviews with staff, residents and relatives in care homes.  

In order to share the findings with a wide audience of health and social care staff, Joseph Rowntree Foundation commissioned us to create a play – Night and Day.
