We are on a mission to help care homes to improve the quality of care given to the vulnerable people of our society. We are looking for people working in care homes to write blogs for us about their care home best practice which helped them to solve problems.

Write your care home best practice

We are looking for Care home managers, Directors, CEOs or anyone working in care homes to share their best practice which has resulted in excellent outcomes for your residents, staff or the community that you are serving.

  • The blog should contain 800 – 1000 words.
  • You will have to choose a niche topic and the solution that has worked in your care home.
  • Do not try to generalise outcomes.
  • Not hypothesis but ideas which have resulted in positive or negative outcomes.
  • We also encourage care homes to share the ideas which did not work, so that other care homes can learn from it.
  • Currently we are looking for blogs only from providers and people working in care homes.
