Care Home Information Pack- recognising and responding to deterioration
An essential part of supporting any resident within a care home is ensuring they are safe and well and that any changes in their presentation is recognised early and responded to in a timely way.
Within Coventry and Warwickshire, we want to offer all care home residents and their carers the right tools and training to recognise any changes but more importantly the help and support that may be required as a result of these changes through health and social care services.
We have worked with the West Midlands Academic Heath Science Network (WMAHSN) team and health and social care partners to provide care homes with a set of tools and pathways to respond to deterioration and more importantly get the right care at the right time for residents.
If you are a care home provider in Coventry, you may have received your information pack already or if you have not you will soon, they are being delivered by your Contract monitoring officer or one of the nurses within the team. Each home will receive one pack each.

The pack is not intended to replace any current services, but to raise awareness and be a point of reference, therefore we want this to be a working pack and easily accessible for staff.
