Teaching and Learning Care Homes

The Teaching Care Homes programme logoThe aim of the Teaching and Learning Care Homes programme is to develop a geographically spread network of homes that:

  • Demonstrate an ongoing commitment to person-centred care and ways of working, which will be experienced by all who live, die, visit and work in the home
  • Are centres for learning, practice development and research, actively engaging with staff, students, residents and the community
  • Have strong working relationships with academic and education providers and are a resource for other care homes

This aim was developed in recognition of the issues of recruitment and retention of both registered nurses and carers, attempting to raise the profile of long term social care as an exciting, rewarding and forward thinking career choice.
