Mouth Care in Care Homes: South West Survey
Good oral health plays an important part in maintaining care home residents’ dignity and comfort.
Why is this survey being undertaken?
Following on from the CQC ‘Smiling Matters: oral health in care homes’ report, resources and training programmes to support care homes with the implementation of mouth care for their residents have been developed.
It is understood that different care homes across the region are at different stages regarding accessing support for mouth care training . The aim of this survey is to help those looking for extra support to access appropriate resources and training.
By filling out this survey you will help the Enhanced Health in Care Homes team to understand current practices in mouth care within your care home. This will illustrate where more help may be needed and help make recommendations to your local Health and Social Care support team which provides mouth care training and support.
