At any given time, approximately 1,400 residents live in residential, nursing, specialist and mental health care homes across Salford. These homes support residents to live fulfilling lives whilst interacting with multiple services within our health and social care system.
Our shared goal is to provide quality for residents in care homes in Salford, working collaboratively to develop improvements. The Salford Care Homes Excellence Programme (SCHEP) is a community of practice bringing together care homes and health and care professionals to improve residents quality of life. Our work is guided by our residents, with improvements supporting the following outcomes for residents:
- I am supported to lead a positive and meaningful life
- I feel safe and will be kept free from harm
- I am involved in decisions about me and care provided will meet my needs
As part of our Care Homes Excellence Programme, we have held 8 events to focus on different priorities and focus areas. Find out more about the programme and events here.
